Academic Experience at San Joaquin Valley College - Modesto

Very Hands on

Our classes are very hands on. We learn everything needed for medical if you are doing medical and criminal justice if you want to go into that field of work. Every week we have a quiz to test how much we are retaining and where we need help, the labs are always clean and well stocked for us to do injections, venipunctures, or even ECGs. The workload is more than you would expect from a junior college only because we are finishing a two-year program in as little as fourteen months. So don't slack on your work, it would hurt your grade badly.

Smaller Classes Make the Difference

With the smaller classes we have in our school we get more help from the instructors and more hands on experience. The teachers are always able to help the students understand what they are not getting more since we can easily slow down so that the teacher could help their needs. We are all treated like professionals and all of the instructors end up knowing your name as well as being able to call us when we don't come in to make sure that everything is okay at home.
