San Joaquin Valley College has been offering career directed education since 1977. With several locations throughout the state of California, there are many good reasons to consider attending SJVC.

Several Locations

SJVC has a number of convenient locations that allow students from various parts of California to get the education they desire. San Joaquin Valley College not only offers the possibility of taking online classes, but also has eight campuses throughout the state for students to attend. Currently SJVC has campuses in:

• Bakersfield
• Fresno
• Hanford
• Hesperia
• Modesto
• Rancho Cordova
• Rancho Cucamonga
• Visalia

Convenient Scheduling

One of the benefits of attending SJVC is their convenient scheduling. Students are offered the opportunity to enroll in morning, afternoon, or evening classes. This opens up the door for people who are working part-time or even full-time to attend classes and further their education while still being able to keep their job. This also enables people who share transportation or have to use public transportation an opportunity to choose classes that are held at a time that is convenient for them.

Small Classes

Small class size is one of the more appreciated benefits of attending SJVC. The fact that their classrooms are not overcrowded results in more personal attention from your professors. This can result in a higher quality of learning and a more comfortable and relaxed learning atmosphere.

Short Term Programs

SJVC offers career focused programs, some of which can be completed in as little as 14 months. They realize that not everyone can wait, or wants to wait, four years to complete their education and start working. SJVC offers programs both online and on their campuses that can have you working in the field of your choice within a little over a year from starting your education with them.

Job Placement Assistance

One of the major benefits of attending SJVC is their job placement assistance. Upon completion of your courses and graduation, they will provide you with the help you need to find a job in the field you desire. Looking for the job you desire on your own can be a trying and often frustrating task. SJVC will be able to give you the assistance you need to find a job and start a rewarding career.

Supportive Atmosphere

Due to the limited class sizes and the attention the students get from the professors, this college presents a family-like atmosphere that is built on support. Not only will the professors help and support you, but you will notice that you will receive support and caring from students who are attending classes with you as well. This supportive and family-like atmosphere is what has helped SJVC students excel for more than 30 years.
