About This School
San Joaquin Valley College-Visalia is a private for-profit institution located in Visalia, California with approximately 2,207 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $27,854 per year. The graduation rate is 36%, and the typical graduate earns $33,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: only 34% of students graduate, which means most who start don't finish — a serious red flag worth thinking through carefully. On the brighter side, debt at graduation is relatively modest at $10,674, and the vocational focus means those who do complete a program often move directly into workforce roles. That said, median earnings of $33,400 a decade out suggest limited long-term earning growth, so this makes the most sense if you have a specific, in-demand trade or health career program in mind and a clear plan to actually finish.
