Program Updates at Our Colleges

More Focus. More Locations. More Options.

Starting this spring, healthcare programs currently offered by SJVC will move to Carrington College. These programs will remain on the same campuses with the same trusted faculty and curriculum—only the name will change. During the transition, Carrington College and SJVC students will continue learning side by side in shared classrooms.
