SEBRON University opens a Victorville location

The need for medical professionals is growing with the ever-expanding medical industry. SEBRON University, which offers courses in medical billing, medical administration and medical assisting has opened a location in High Desert. 

The Victorville location serves all of the high desert, including Hesperia, Apple Valley, Adelanto and Victorville. 

San Bernardino County, as well as Riverside County, has experienced stagnation and economic downturn following the 2008 economic collapse. There is a strong need for affordable education providers in the area that SEBRON University hopes to fulfill. The area has experienced a rebound, with Walmart, Pepsi, and other large companies basing hubs and warehouses in the area due to the region's low cost and temperate climate.
