Public postsecondary education: community colleges: statewide baccalaureate degree program.

Summary

The bill lets community college districts create baccalaureate degree programs, but only if the program isn’t already offered by the University of California or a nearby California State University unless that CSU program has been over‑enrolled for three straight years. It also caps baccalaureate programs at 15% of a district’s associate programs and requires proof of local workforce need. The changes aim to expand affordable four‑year options while avoiding duplication with existing state universities.
