Mt San Jacinto College

What Mt San Jacinto College does

Mt. San Jacinto College (MSJC) is a public community college district operating four campuses (San Jacinto, Menifee Valley, Temecula Valley, San Gorgonio Pass) across a 1,700-square-mile service area in Riverside County, California, governed by an elected Board of Trustees and overseen by the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office. The institution delivers associate degrees, certificates, career technical education, transfer pathways to four-year universities, adult education, dual-enrollment programs (including the Beaumont Middle College High School), nursing and allied health programs, athletics, and performing arts, serving first-time students, returning adults, high schoolers, veterans, and transfer-bound learners.

Core technology is built on standard enterprise platforms: Canvas LMS for online and hybrid course delivery, Microsoft 365 (MyMSJC portal, Self-Service, Outlook email) for student and employee productivity, wireless infrastructure across all campuses, and an AI-powered chatbot ("Ernie the Eagle") for student support inquiries. The district is currently mid-deployment of a $295 million Measure AA facilities bond approved in 2014, funding new construction including the Menifee Valley STEM Building (Fall 2025 completion, Spring 2026 classes), the Temecula Valley Campus (opened Fall 2021), stadium and athletic facilities, and 3,287 solar panels producing 2.4 million kWh annually.

Revenue is generated through California Community Colleges per-student state apportionment, state-set tuition and enrollment fees, federal Pell Grant disbursements, and voter-approved property tax bond proceeds; the MSJC Promise Program provides free tuition for qualifying first-time students. Accreditation is institutional (ACCJC, reaffirmed June 2025) and programmatic (BRN, ACEN, CAAHEP) for nursing and diagnostic medical sonography. Leadership transitioned in 2025 with Dr. Tawny Dotson announced as the district's 8th Superintendent/President.
