Welcome to Victor Valley College!
At Victor Valley College, we are committed to providing you with an affordable, high-quality education that empowers your future and strengthens the economic and social fabric of our communities. Whether you are starting your first college semester or returning to complete your educational goals, you are now part of a college that truly puts students first.
For almost 65 years, VVC has served as the educational hub of the High Desert—offering innovative programs, state-of-the-art facilities, and comprehensive student services designed to help you succeed. Our cutting-edge Student Services Center is a true "one-stop" destination where you can access admissions, counseling, financial aid, and much more.
We are proud to be the fastest-growing community college in California, according to statewide enrollment data, and among the top colleges in advancing students through gateway English and math courses. This success is no accident—it reflects the dedication of our faculty, staff, administration, and Board of Trustees, who are united in a mission to support your academic and career journey.
Our four Schools of Study—HASS (Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences), BLAR (Business, Law, Academic Resources, and Distance Education), STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), and PSIT (Public Safety and Industrial Technology)—are supported by vibrant Student Engagement Centers. These centers have become pillars of student life, offering academic support, mentoring, community-building events, and direct access to resources within each RAMPath. In the past year, students participated in exciting opportunities, including guest lectures from high-profile leaders—most notably a NASA astronaut, who inspired hundreds of students with stories of perseverance and achievement.
VVC also offers a range of extracurricular experiences—whether you choose to join one of our 20+ student clubs, attend cultural and artistic events, or serve in student government. Your voice matters here. We encourage you to get involved and help shape the future of our college through participatory governance.
Our distinguished faculty come from some of the top universities in the nation and bring a diversity of experience, perspective, and passion for teaching. They are deeply committed to your success, inside and outside the classroom.
No matter which path you choose—whether it's transferring to a four-year university, entering a vocational or workforce training program, or simply learning something new—you belong at Victor Valley College.
Education opens doors, builds strong communities, and unlocks human potential. At VVC, we don’t just believe in Student Success—we live it every day.
It is an honor and privilege to serve as your Superintendent/President, and I look forward to seeing all that you will accomplish.
Victor Valley College is YOUR community college!
With pride and purpose,
Daniel Walden, Ph.D.
Superintendent/President
