What are the graduation rates for students at Moorpark College?

Moorpark College's reported overall graduation rate is 44% in the 2024-25 IPEDS data. This is a defined federal completion measure, not the share of everyone who has ever taken a class at the college.

The conventional IPEDS graduation-rate cohort focuses on first-time, full-time students pursuing a degree or certificate and measures completion within 150% of a program's normal time - typically three years for a two-year associate degree. It does not describe every part-time student, returning adult, transfer-in student, or student who leaves after completing courses needed elsewhere. It also should not be read as a transfer rate.

For an individual decision, the more useful comparison is often program-specific: required units, how frequently essential classes are offered, and whether a student's planned course load permits completion on schedule. The institution-wide figure cannot predict one applicant's outcome.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Moorpark College?

There is no single salary that accurately represents the likely earnings of Moorpark College students. Its students pursue different occupations, transfer before entering the workforce, or take courses without completing a credential, so an institution-wide earnings claim would obscure important differences.

When comparing career programs, students should look for a published outcome that identifies who was measured, whether earnings are a median or an average, and how long after attendance the measurement occurred. Federal earnings measures can exclude people who do not meet their coverage criteria, and wages also reflect occupation, location, prior experience, and hours worked. They are useful context, not a promised return on tuition.

Moorpark College offers career exploration and counseling that can help students connect a major with occupations and employment plans. Career advising should be distinguished from verified job-placement or earnings results.
