Degrees & Certificates offered at Victor Valley College:

Helpful information regarding how to best use the information presented by this web page:

  1. If you see "A.S." or "A.A." after the name of a section, an Associate Degree is available in that course of study at VVC.
  2. We highly recommend you review the 2008-2010 VVC College Catalog for the listing of all classes, degrees and certificates offered by the Victor Valley Community College District.

NOTE: The difference between the VVC Class Schedule and the VVC College Catalog is that the Class Schedule only lists courses available for a particular term/semester, whereas the College Catalog lists all courses, degrees and certificates offered by the college in a more general sense.
