History
San Bernardino Valley College was established in 1926 and is the twenty-fifth oldest community college in California.[citation needed] In 1926, San Bernardino Valley College’s campus was split between San Bernardino High School and Colton High School and consisted of 140 students and one administrator, George H. Jantzen, who was dean of the college. Today, San Bernardino Valley College offers classes to 25,000 students and runs on an annual budget of $59 million. The college district, which includes two campuses, has 243 full-time faculty, 750 part-time faculty and staff of 459. It serves multiple high school districts, and the district encompasses nearly 500 square miles (1,300 km2).[citation needed]
Academics
As part of the state system of community colleges, San Bernardino Valley College is dedicated to providing educational opportunities at minimum cost. Central to San Bernardino Valley College’s philosophy is the idea of general education - a system of instruction that gives the student a basic competence in written and spoken English, mathematics, history and government; a regard for health, both mental and physical; a grasp of the basic disciplines and methodologies of human and scientific study, and knowledge in some depth of chosen subject area. The college offers degrees in the arts and sciences to students who successfully complete a comprehensive two-year course study. This course study corresponds to the lower division requirements of the University of California and the California State University system, so qualified students can transfer to four-year institutions with junior standing. San Bernardino Valley College transfer students have demonstrated a high success rate in continuing their education at the four-year College and university level. While recognizing the importance of a general education, the college also recognizes an obligation to provide specialized programs leading directly to employment or to improving the skill and knowledge of those already employees in the work force. To achieve this, the college offers more than 40 programs in technical and occupational fields. Courses may be taken individually to improve specific skills or as part of a program leading to an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science and or a Certificate of Completion in specific occupational fields. Qualified students can even combine work and study through work experience programs. San Bernardino Valley College was a pioneer in the work/study concept. In addition to general and occupational programs, San Bernardino Valley College offers developmental programs for students who need to improve basic skills before taking advanced classes, counseling and guidance programs, and service for disabled students, veterans and other adults. San Bernardino Valley College has been a leader in programs for the physically handicapped, including adaptive physical education classes.
Student life
San Bernardino Valley College also offers its students a diverse selection of clubs. At San Bernardino Valley College there are more than 30 clubs and organizations representing a variety of academic and career pursuits. There are also a number of special interest groups.

Middle College High School
Located on the SBVC campus, Middle College High School is a 3-year high school that reaches out to students with high potential but who may be struggling on a regular high school campus. Students spend mornings in Valley College courses and the afternoon taking high school classes in English, math and science. Students can graduate with an associate degree at the same time as a high school diploma.
The school boasts a 98% graduation rate and the highest Academic Performance Index score (832) of any high school in San Bernardino or Riverside counties. It has won a federal recognition under the 2008 No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon Schools award.[3]
Athletics
San Bernardino Valley College is a member of the Foothill Conference for 11 of its 12 sports. SBVC Football is a member of the American Division-Mountain Conference. Each sport has a different competitive alignment within the conference. SBVC competes with: Antelope Valley College, Barstow Community College, Cerro Coso, Chaffey College, College of the Desert, Compton College (Football Only), East Los Angeles College (Football Only), Mt. San Jacinto College, Rio Hondo College, San Diego Mesa College (Football Only), and Victor Valley College.
From 1926-2000 SBVC's mascot was the Indians, since 2000 SBVC's mascot has been the Wolverines, much to the dismay of alumni and area tribes alike.
The Men's and Women's basketball teams play their home games in the Joseph W. Snyder Gymnasium, which was built in 1975.

Seismic reconstruction
Between 2001 and 2010, several of the campus' major buildings have been demolished and new ones built nearby. The college's original builders were unaware of the San Jacinto Fault Zone, which bisects the campus and ran under the foundations of some buildings. A seismic study in 1995-1996 confirmed the danger of the fault to the campus. The buildings, most over 50 years old, were not built to modern seismic standards and it was decided that creating new buildings would be more sensible than retrofitting the aging ones. Buildings replaced included the Administration Building, the Library, the Student Center/Cafeteria Building, the Art Building, the Physical Sciences Buildings, the Life Science Building, and North Hall. Prominently preserved is the Auditorium. Built in 1938 by the Works Progress Administration, the ornate building contains the clock tower that is featured on many of the college's publications.
