REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingGreat teachers! Most of whom have been in the professional world. There are tons of interesting classes as well!
Zachary from Moorpark, CA
Great teachers, they know their stuff really well 99 percent of the time.
Dustin from Irvine, CA
Most of the teachers are quiet knowledgeable and have a good grasp of their subject matter.
Samantha from Thousand Oaks, CA
I am currently enrolled in a special part of Moorpark College- the Exotic Animal Training and Management program. There is a zoo on campus (yes and actual zoo, with 100+ animals), and students in the program run the zoo while maintaining their education. I have indeed learned so much about my future in an animal career, and am still expecting to learn so much more within the next year!
Nikki from Simi Valley, CA
Most of the teacher really know their subject. Moorpark gets a bad reputation because its a community college, but its better than most think. Teachers here are required to have their bachelor's degree to be employed. The bad reputation is from the students who slack off and don't work hard. Moorpark has a high transfer rate to 4 year schools.

I am getting my general education out of the way.
Andrea from Simi Valley, CA
A laid back campus with knowledgable staff that want to see you succeed. Moorpark College is the perfect campus to get started on your degree without the high-stress feelings of a four-year university. From the scenery to the classes offered, it's the right choice down your degree career path.
