Financial Considerations & Estimated College Costs
Below you will find the estimated general costs of college, including living expenses. Moorpark College does not have dorms or any type of living arrangements for students. Students are responsible for finding their own housing, many students within the Animal Care and Training (ANCT) Program live with other students and find housing through networking before the start of the program.
In addition to college enrollment and tuition, there are extra costs associated with attendance of the ANCT Program; a Zoo Uniform is required at all times while on grounds, additional financial costs may include books, off-campus field trips, and internships called "Projects".
With the high demand on time; students may find it difficult to maintain a typical job to provide financial support. Having financial needs in place or planned ahead helps a student focus on their experience and success within the program.
If financial assistance is needed we encourage students to apply for Financial Aid & other assistance.
