Historical Background of Mt. San Jacinto College Nursing and Allied Health Unit

In 2010-11 the founding Dean for the Nursing and Allied Health Instructional Unit was
hired; the new Nursing and Allied Health CTE and Academic Program Unit structure fully
established and the Unit Dean charged with developing a strategic plan for the Unit’s future
function.
The Nursing and Allied Health Unit is expected to continue its rapid growth which began
when the nursing and allied health programs housed in the Career Technical Education
Unit, were first added to the MSJC, Menifee campus in 1995-96. The Nursing and Allied
Health Unit will continue to offer rigorous, high-quality instructional programs to serve the
healthcare needs of the local and surrounding community and will continue to form the
‘flagship identity’ of the Menifee campus as described in the Educational Master Plan (XI. D.
page 49; XIII. G., H. page 70).

As a comprehensive community college, MSJC offers courses and programs that satisfy the
transfer requirements of four-year colleges and universities. We offer a variety of
vocational and technical programs to prepare students for a rewarding career. Basic Skills
and English as a Second Language (ESL) training programs are designed for students who
want to build a strong foundation and ensure academic success. Community Education
programs and classes help lifelong learners and those seeking personal enrichment.

The Mt. San Jacinto Community College District was formed in 1962 by a vote of the
citizens in Banning, Beaumont, Hemet and San Jacinto. Named for the majestic 10,000-foot
peak that dominates the area’s skyline, the Mt. San Jacinto Community College District
stretches 45 miles from east to west to include the communities of Banning, Beaumont,
Idyllwild, San Jacinto, Hemet, Perris, Sun City, Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake, Murrieta,
Menifee, Temecula, Aguanga and Anza. Economic activity includes a varied agricultural
industry, light manufacturing, tourism and a thriving service sector meeting the needs of
the region’s growing population. District geography is diverse, ranging from desert and
valley grasslands to pine-forested mountains.

The college enrolled its first students in the fall of 1963, holding classes in rented facilities.
The San Jacinto Campus was opened in 1965 with two buildings and has grown into a
comprehensive college campus serving the needs of students and the community. In 1975,
the residents of Temecula, Lake Elsinore, Perris and adjacent areas voted to join the Mt.
San Jacinto Community College District, increasing the college’s area to the present 1,700
square miles. Although the boundaries have remained stable since 1975, the District has
changed dramatically, especially since the 1980s. In recent years, unprecedented
population growth has fostered the highest rate of enrollment increase of all 111
community colleges. Mt. San Jacinto Community College District covers 1,700 square miles
in central and southwestern Riverside County, one of California’s fastest-growing and most
dynamic regions.
