Santa Barbara Business College Online

Santa Barbara Business College is one of the oldest private schools in California and the country. The college was founded in 1888 as a California business college and teacher training institute. The primary curriculum focus throughout SBBC's long history has been business.

SBBC offers associate degrees to enrich the learning experience and increase lifelong earning potential. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, individuals who have earned an associate degree will earn on average 30 percent more than those individuals with only a high school diploma or GED.

With very close ties with employers and the business community, we're able to change quickly -- adding new programs and enhancing our existing programs -- to meet employer demand. Such flexibility and market awareness have always been hallmarks of this California college's rich history and success.

The SBBC Online campus joins our five ground campuses with locations in Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Bakersfield, Ventura, and Palm Desert California, serving thousands of students, alumni and employers each year.

Our graduates work and hold important positions in the communities we serve, and we are proud to have educated many generations of the families in these communities. Our online campus joins this rich history by offering career-focused education to the global community of students looking for an opportunity to receive their education online.

For more than a century, the market-driven, student-centered, employer-based philosophy serving the colleges' California communities has been a cornerstone to its successful, long history. Thousands of graduates have benefited from the short-term, career-focused training provided during the long, distinguished history of Santa Barbara Business College in California.
