SBBCollege Santa Maria Commencement – Grads Ready for Workforce
SANTA MARIA, CA (January 11, 2012) – Santa Barbara Business College will hold a graduation ceremony to honor the College’s graduating class on Friday, January 13, 2012. The ceremony will take place at the Santa Maria Fairpark’s Convention Center at 7:00 pm.
Graduates will receive associate’s degrees or job training diplomas in the career fields of business administration, criminal justice, paralegal studies, pharmacy technology, medical office administration and medical assisting. Students in the vocational nursing class at SBBCollege will be graduating as well.
State Assemblywoman Hilda Zacarias will deliver the keynote address at the ceremony.
In keeping with the College’s theme of the new year – “bringing the campus to the community,” the campus is excited to help provide their community with well-prepared employees. Campus Director, AJ Schuermann, states, “Many of these graduates first attended SBBCollege a little unsure of themselves, and without the skills and knowledge to help them start a new career or advance in their current career field. Now, they’ve practiced hundreds of blood draws, passed their accounting or criminal justice exams, completed their externships – they’re ready to get out in to the work force and serve their communities.”
The College is currently accepting applications for their next class start.

SBBCollege Students Investigate Crime Scene
Students in SBBCollege’s Criminal Justice degree program recently participated in a hands-on training lab where they investigated a mock crime scene, preparing them for real-life scenarios in their criminal justice careers, such as forensics or crime scene investigations.
Students were instructed to investigate the scene, and determine what happened and who possible suspects were. Students utilized photographs, fingerprinting and other investigative procedures to process the evidence taken from the scene.
Whenever possible, SBBCollege uses hands-on training in addition to traditional classroom lectures. This crime scene lab aided in putting theories taught in classes, such as crime scene investigation, criminology and criminal investigation, to practice.
Photos from SBBCollege Ventura’s crime scene lab are shown below.
The criminal justice training program at SBBCollege provides students a solid understanding of the US criminal justice system, including social and behavioral science, with emphasis on investigation, law enforcement, corrections, the criminal court system, juvenile justice and private security.
For more information on receiving training in criminal justice at SBBCollege’s Ventura, Rancho Mirage, Santa Maria, Bakersfield or Online campuses, please call 866-610-SBBC.

From Sailor to Student: A Veteran’s Story at SBBCollege
Are you trying to find your place in the civilian sector? With high unemployment rates for veterans, it can be difficult to find success after returning from active duty. With help from family, friends and veterans-service providers, veterans can get back on their feet and begin a new chapter in their life.
Melissa S. was one such veteran who needed help finding her career after returning from the US Navy. She found the aid she needed with the help of Santa Barbara Business College, the Post-9/11 GI Bill, and the Yellow Ribbon Program.
“Before I was a student, I was a sailor. I served 4 years in the US Navy. When I got out of the Navy, I kicked around a few jobs but I knew in my heart I didn’t want a job, I wanted a career.
A friend of mine recommended Santa Barbara Business College because it was the school she was going to. I didn’t think I could afford it, but I went for an admissions interview anyways. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Between admissions and the financial aid staff, they helped me realize I could afford it. In fact, not only was my tuition paid in full, I received extra money for housing, books and supplies!
The bonus was the Yellow Ribbon Program. With this program, I received money back in a check for my own personal use because my tuition was already paid for.
Overall, I am doing so well at Santa Barbara Business College. The staff made my transition from sailor to student so easy. I am even considering furthering my college education with SBBC’s bachelor’s program. What makes this even easier, I still have money in the Post-9/11 GI Bill to do so.
Thank you SBBC for giving me the opportunity to better myself. When I am through, I can land the career of my choice.”
SBBCollege is proud to serve the veterans in our communities, and will help them receive the veteran career training they need to find a successful career.
For more information on how you can use your military benefits and start at a Post-9/11 GI Bill school, please call 1-866-610-SBBC.
What’s your success story?
