MSJC Serves Students in Temecula Region with

New Campus

Mt. San Jacinto College (MSJC) opened its new Temecula Valley Campus – the first permanent campus of higher education serving Riverside County’s southwest region – in Fall 2021.

The five-story, 350,000-square-foot facility features state-ofthe-art labs, technology and classrooms and offers programs so students can earn associate degrees, transfer to four-year universities, or certificates that directly support the region’s economy.

The campus includes a veterans’ resource center, health center, dining hall, bookstore, career center and other support services. Students can meet with counselors, receive assistance from financial aid, and more.

MSJC Superintendent and President Dr. Roger Schultz said the new campus is making an immediate impact on students in the area.

“It has already made a difference in its first year, saving time and gas money for students by providing them closer access to college in southwestern Riverside County,” he said. “The energy for higher education in this region is just going to grow exponentially.”

The new campus is at 41888 Motorcar Parkway, Temecula. It is on the corner of Margarita Road and Solana Way.

Founded in 1963, Mt. San Jacinto College serves nearly 24,000 students annually in a district covering 1,700 square miles from the San Gorgonio Pass to Temecula, with campuses in San Jacinto, Menifee, Banning and Temecula. The college offers in-person, online, and hybrid courses to serve students where they are and in ways they want to learn.

MSJC offers numerous courses and programs that satisfy the transfer requirements of four-year colleges and universities and vocational and technical programs that prepare students for fulfilling careers. Along with the college’s traditional programs, MSJC’s Community Education department offers contract education and not-for-credit programs for personal and professional development.

MSJC awarded 3,157 degrees and certificates to a recordbreaking 2,185 graduates in May 2022.
