Moreno Valley College

What Moreno Valley College does

Moreno Valley College is a public community college established in 1991 and operated by the Riverside Community College District (RCCD), serving the Moreno Valley and broader Inland Empire region of California. The college offers associate degrees, certificates, transfer pathways to four-year institutions, and career and technical education across nine fields of interest including Arts, Media and Design; Business; Communications, English and Languages; Education and Child Development; Health Sciences; History, Humanities and Philosophy; Public Safety; STEM; and Social and Behavioral Sciences. Specialized facilities include the Ben Clark Training Center (one of the largest regional public safety education centers for EMTs, paramedics, firefighters, and law enforcement), the Dental Education Center and Hygiene Clinic, and the iMAKE Innovation Center. The college is a designated Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) and operates with 251-500 employees across a main Lasselle Campus and the Ben Clark Campus.

MVC's technology infrastructure is built on commodity educational platforms integrated through an RCCD Single Sign-On portal: Canvas serves as the learning management system for course delivery, VDI provides browser-based access to district applications (Galaxy, Colleague/Datatel, OnBase, SARS), and supporting tools include Microsoft Office 365, Adobe Creative Cloud, OneSearch (Ex Libris Primo) for library services, Concur for travel, Etrieve for HR workflows, and 25Live for room reservations. Student-facing services include a free WiFi network, computer labs, the Accessibility Resource Center, an Academic Success Center, and a Library system. The college is WCAG 2.2 AA, Section 508, and ARIA 1.1 compliant, and meets California Government Code accessibility requirements (Sections 7405 and 11135).

The college's revenue model is a hybrid public-funding structure typical of California community colleges: state apportionment based on enrollment metrics, per-unit tuition (California resident and non-resident tiers), Measure C local bond proceeds for capital projects, and a diversified grant portfolio from federal sources (NSF, Department of Education, Department of Labor), state agencies (California Coastal Commission, California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office), and private foundations (Henry Luce Foundation, Terra Foundation, Inland SoCal United Way). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the Outreach and Recruitment Office, high school partnerships, social media, community events, and an Amazon Career Choice corporate channel. Customer segments include first-time college students (primary), transfer students, military/veterans, career and technical education students, and concurrent-enrolled high school students, with placement relationships to regional healthcare employers and fire/police departments.
