San Joaquin Valley College is a private institution and is approved to operate as an accredited institution in the state of California by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE).
The college offers certificates, Associate of Science degrees and continuing education opportunities in the areas of Health, Business and Technology.
San Joaquin Valley College was founded in April 1977 by Robert and Shirley Perry in response to a growing need for professional instruction of Medical Assistants. The first class consisted of three students who were excited to pursue a career in Medical Assisting. The class was taught in Visalia, California by Shirley Perry, who was one of the first Certified Medical Assistants in the State of California and a leader of professional development at the time. In 1987, the Visalia campus moved to its current site as a result of several expansions. The new site was built to house the campus and the growing corporate offices, which in 2003 would move to a separate Visalia location.
Mark and Michael Perry, Robert and Shirley's sons, serve as the President and CEO of the company. Under them, the college has continued to expand and achieved regional accreditation through ACCJC-WASC.
Southern expansion began with a campus in Rancho Cucamonga that relocated to Ontario in 2013. Most notably, this campus marked the first expansion of the College out of the central and southern San Joaquin Valley.
