About Us

Founded in 1888 in downtown Santa Barbara, SBBCollege has expanded in Southern California with campuses in Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Bakersfield, Rancho Mirage and Ventura.

As one of the oldest colleges in California and the country, we understand that students need a market-driven, student-centered and employer-based education to increase lifelong earning potential. This philosophy is integrated into all of our program fields: business, early childhood education, information technology, legal, and medical.

"I struggled for so long prior to coming here and this is where I needed to be. I needed goals and a career and now I have gotten both of those. Santa Barbara Business College is where I needed to be."
Deanna, Medical Assisting

"Now that I am in school, I have a drive and inspiration inside of me that I have never had before. I believe anything is possible ... and I like who I see in the mirror today."
Johanne, Medical Assisting
