Hey everyone, I'm thinking about applying to San Joaquin Valley College, but I want to make sure it's legit. Does anyone know if it's accredited, and if so, by which organization?
Yes, San Joaquin Valley College (SJVC) is accredited. It is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). This regional accreditation assures that the college maintains appropriate standards of quality and is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
In addition to regional accreditation, some programs at SJVC, like nursing, may have their own specialized accreditation or approval from industry-specific organizations. Be sure to also check the accreditation status of the specific program you are interested in when applying, to ensure that you'll meet the standards of employers in your field once you graduate.
