Some California community colleges will offer bachelor’s degrees for first time - SFGate: "For the first time in California, up to 15 community colleges will be able to offer bachelor’s degrees in fields where skilled workers are especially needed — health, science and technology— under a pilot program signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown.

Duplicating courses offered at the University of California or California State University would not be allowed under the bill authored by Sen. Marty Block, D-San Diego, which shakes up the California Master Plan for Higher Education. For 54 years, the Master Plan has defined separate roles for the state’s three higher education systems, with community colleges able to offer only two-year associate’s degrees or vocational certificates."
