MVC is a Hispanic-Serving Institution

Inclusivity Starts Here

The Hispanic/Latinx community is a foundational part of Moreno Valley College. Since opening in 1991 with just 3,490 students, MVC has grown to more than 15,000 annually, with the Hispanic/Latinx community leading and shaping that growth. This relationship continues to define our commitment to equitable opportunity.

A Label with Meaning

Moreno Valley College holds the federal designation of Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), reflecting the diversity of our students and enabling access to resources that strengthen our ability to serve the Hispanic/Latinx community. We foster an environment where culture is valued, experiences are understood, and every student has the support needed to succeed. 

MVC also qualifies as a Minority-Serving Institution (MSI), with approximately 78% of the student body identifying as a minority.

Efforts and Support

The College has made measurable progress in closing equity gaps for Hispanic/Latinx students, expanding access to higher education, and supporting their success. 

What It Means to Be an HSI

A Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) is an accredited, degree-granting college or university where at least 25% of full-time equivalent undergraduate students identify as Hispanic/Latinx. This federal designation allows MVC to access grants and resources that support Hispanic/Latinx student success.
