About San Joaquin Valley College

Robert and Shirley Perry realized a gap existed for the training of Medical Assistants. Three students graduated from their first program founding San Joaquin Valley College (SJVC) in 1977. Since that date, the private, for-profit junior college continues to provide students with an accelerated option in preparation for business, medical, and technical professions.

SJVC provides real-world skills that students need to step into new careers while serving their communities with integrity. Students from all walks of life are welcome. Everything at SJVC starts with people. With a combination of classroom, hands-on, and online learning, programs are designed to support the priorities of each student. SJVC Online provides students with the opportunity to pursue associate’s degrees and certificates. Many degrees can be completed entirely online for the convenience of working students.

GetEducated Team Takes
Tony’s Take

San Joaquin Valley College is strongest in class support. Professors are attentive, motivating, and easy to reach. One-on-one help and tutoring are part of coursework. Classes feel structured, not loose or self-taught.

The start is also a plus. Enrollment is usually simple and low stress. Online pacing can be at your own pace. That works for adults with work and family demands.

The mixed part is mostly outside class. Tuition can feel high versus community college options. Some staff communication is uneven. Overall, this is a leaning-positive fit for students who want accelerated, career-focused training with regular instructor touchpoints.
