On Our "Virtual Route 66" in our Home State of California

 

Could offering bachelor's degrees at California's Community colleges make it cheaper and easier for students to complete a degree and find a job?


Historically students at California's community colleges have been limited to an associate degree or had to transfer to a four-year university to complete their B.A. or B.S.


But students in California can now earn a bachelor's degree from an increasing number of community colleges, following a 2021 law that allows the system to approve up to 30 baccalaureate programs annually.


Join EdSource’s Michael Burke and Anne Vasquez as they talk to a panel of experts to answer questions such as:


  • What’s the benefit of offering bachelor’s degrees at the community college level?
  • How do these degrees meet workforce needs?
  • What can California learn from other states, such as Florida and Washington, that for many years have had robust baccalaureate degrees offerings at community colleges?
