Moorpark College
Public Community College in Moorpark, CA. Six-year graduation rate 44%. Median 10-year earnings $49,044.
The median ten-year earnings figure of $49,044 sits near the national middle rather than at either extreme. 44% finish within six years — respectable, though a meaningful share still leave without a credential. Median debt at graduation is $9,500, a light load against those earnings.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ Debt-to-income ratio 0.19 — healthy (below the 0.40 threshold)
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
Six-year completion sits at 44%, meaning about three in five students who enroll leave without finishing. A 14% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. The 31:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. The undergraduate body runs to 14,091, large enough that student experience varies widely by program.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 12,011 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $2,727 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $-4,158 while those at $110k+ pay $5,336. About 60% get grants averaging $3,921, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 1% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $-4,158 |
| $30–48k | $-3,488 |
| $48–75k | $-143 |
