San Bernardino Valley College is a community college located in San Bernardino, California. It is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The two-year college has an enrollment of approximately 18,800 students and covers 82 acres. Valley College is also a part of the San Bernardino Community College District [1] which includes Crafton Hills College located in nearby Yucaipa and the Professional Development Center in San Bernardino.
The college is always trying to expand its student base. According to Donna Hoffman, San Bernardino Valley College spokeswoman: "The problem is not getting people to go to Valley College, but getting them to go to college at all. That's our challenge in the Inland Empire."[1]
Valley College is building a new media communications building, which will open in 2009. Two new science buildings and a replacement for North Hall are also scheduled to open in 2010.[2]
