Of the 1,648 graduates, 1,167 students earned associate degrees. The 1,167 students amassed 2,309 degrees. Many graduates can earn multiple degrees due to classes satisfying requirements in different degree paths. The remaining 481 graduates, making up the 2022 graduating class, earned 690 state approved certificates.

"Commencement is a significant rite of passage and milestone in a student's personal and professional journey," Robin Steinback, Ph.D., president of Moreno Valley College, said. "We are confident the College has provided a foundation and framework for our students’ lives. My hope is that each graduate does great things – never forgetting who they are are and what they do matters."
