Transferring from Tyler Junior College to St. Mary’s

St. Mary’s has partnered with Texas Tyler Junior College to assist students interested in pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science.

Because of the agreement with TylerJunior College, advising for Tyler Junior College students interested in Environmental Science at St. Mary’s should be intentional in helping them work toward both completing their Associate’s degree at Tyler Junior College and transferring the lower-division coursework that fulfills the first- and second-year requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science at St. Mary’s, as applicable. St. Mary’s will also encourage students to complete their Associate’s degree through reverse transfer, if needed.
