Currently, the Phoenix campus also offers a pharmacy technician program. In 2010, a specialized associate degree program in diagnostic medical sonography will also be offered at SBC’s Phoenix campus.

"When we launched Sanford-Brown’s Phoenix campus in October 2009, with our medical assistant and pharmacy technician programs, the response was overwhelmingly positive,”" said George F. Fitzpatrick, president of SBC - Phoenix. "Looking forward, we knew there would be a need for associate programs as well as Spanish-language offerings, to better equip our students to best help both English and Spanish speaking patients. Currently, the Spanish-language program is being successfully offered in Florida and Texas, and we see our market as a similarly good fit."

Crampton, a professor at Illinois College, established a school to meet the growing educational demands of post-Civil War America, there are now 12 campuses bearing the name Sanford-Brown College and 18 other affiliated campuses operating under the names of Sanford-Brown Institute, SBI Campus-an affiliate of Sanford-Brown and Missouri College, serving more than 19,000 students nationwide.
