The relationship between students and their academic advisors is one of the most important during college. The advising staff can help students with many tasks, including selecting a major and developing personal degree plans. While academic advisors are organized by academic school, all advisors are trained to advise for general studies or undecided majors.

Core Curriculum

tjc.edu/core

The core curriculum at TJC provides a solid foundation of knowledge and academic skills which will assist you throughout life. Students who successfully complete the TJC core curriculum can transfer that block of courses to any Texas public college or university. Articulation agreements with other Texas colleges and universities mean seamless transfer. TJC core requirements are in three-hour increments. However, some core courses offered, such as mathematics and life and physical sciences, are four-hour classes. Any overflow (extra) hours above the required core of 42 hours will create a minimum 44-hour core, and meet degree requirements.
