It is my sincere pleasure to welcome you to the Moreno Valley College community, where our dedicated faculty, classified professionals, and administrators are here to provide you with the highest quality of education to help you meet your educational goals.

Whether you know your major or are exploring your field of study, I invite you to visit our Fields of Interest page, which puts our many two-year degrees and shorter career certificates into nine simple categories to navigate. Also, to find out information about specific classes for the summer 2025 term, be sure to visit our Class Schedule page. There, you will find the courses that you need to transfer or enter/advance in your career.  

For those seeking a career in public safety (law enforcement, fire technology, emergency management, and emergency medical services), our Ben Clark Education Center location offers comprehensive training and certification programs that will have you in the field soon! 

During your time with us, Moreno Valley College offers services to support you, including resources that see to your basic needs (food, clothing, and housing through Monty's Market), care for your physical and mental health, aid in paying for college, and help keep you on track and engaged with peers. Visit MVC's Student Support page for detailed information about how we care for all our students.

Even before we became one of the newest colleges in California, the Mountain Lion community has always enjoyed our strong ties to the community. Our history includes connections with local businesses, industries, and school districts, especially in highly sought-after programs that bring our graduates careers in allied healthcare, public safety, information technology, and business.

All of us at Moreno Valley College hope that your experience will provide you with an outstanding education that lays the foundation for a lifetime of learning both in our classrooms and in your careers. We welcome you and wish you the best for the upcoming semester.

Sincerely,

Dr. Rudy Besikof, President, Moreno Valley College
