Foothill College vying to offer new, affordable four-year degree | News | Palo Alto Online |

Foothill College vying to offer new, affordable four-year degree | News | Palo Alto Online |: "Foothill College is in the running to become one of the first California community colleges to offer a four-year bachelor's degree as the result of a bill that took effect Jan. 1.

The bill, which Governor Jerry Brown signed into law in September, allows up to 15 community colleges to offer one baccalaureate degree in select vocational fields, as long as they meet a local workforce need and don't compete with or duplicate any programs already offered at University of California (UC) or California State University (CSU) campuses. In today's world of increasingly expensive college degrees -- for some prohibitively so — the bill aims to give more Californians access to higher education, and at a more affordable price."
