History

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.

In 2004, SJVC opened the Hanford extension of the Visalia campus as well as the Online division, enabling SJVC to offer career training programs throughout the United States. In the same year, it opened its Modesto campus, which moved to Salida in 2008. Most recently, SJVC opened its Delano campus in 2015.

In 2005, the Rancho Cordova campus opened, marking SJVC's northernmost location. The Hesperia campus opened in July 2009. The Temecula Campus opened in 2011. 2012 campus additions include the Lancaster and San Diego campuses.
