TeexSan Juan College has joined with the Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) and Texas A&M University-Commerce to offer safety professionals an exciting opportunity to earn a college degree online. This unique program allows qualified safety professionals who already hold a TEEX Certified Safety & Health Official™ (CSHO) certificate to earn a college degree while holding down a full-time job. Students can receive 18 hours of college credit for the TEEX CSHO certificate and complete degree requirements online through San Juan College and Texas A&M University-Commerce. Students without TEEX CSHO can select 18 credit hours of electives to complete the Career Field requirements.

 Credits for SJC General Education and Core Classes may be earned either online or by conventional classes.
