Everything Baccalaureate

John StanskasAcademic Senate for California Community Colleges

Background• There are 21 states with more than 50 community colleges

offering baccalaureate degrees• SB 850 (Block, 2014) was signed by Governor Brown on

September 28, 2014• The Application to Participate was released on November

21, 2014, by the CCCCO with a deadline of December 19, 2014

• 34 applications were received• Steps of the application review included: Applicant

webinar, FAQs, recruitment of readers, Readers’ webinar, distribution of applications to readers, collection of scores, ranking scores, and making recommendations

Pilot Colleges & Disciplines

• Antelope Valley College – Airframe Manufacturing Technology

• Bakersfield College – Industrial Automation• Cypress College – Mortuary Science• Feather River College – Equine & Ranch

Management• Foothill College – Dental Hygiene


• Mira Costa College – Biomanufacturing• Modesto Junior College – Respiratory Care• Rio Hondo – Automotive Technology• San Diego Mesa College – Health Information

Management• Santa Ana College – Occupational Studies


• Santa Monica – Interaction Design• Shasta College – Health Information

Management• Skyline College – Respiratory Therapy• Solano – Biomanufacturing• West Los Angeles College – Dental Hygiene

Foundational Assumptions• Bachelor’s degrees offered by the California

Community Colleges (CCCs) are (at least) equivalent in breadth, rigor, and utility to bachelor’s degrees offered by any other accredited public college or university in the state of California

• Bachelor’s degrees offered by CCCs should serve as appropriate preparation for the workforce and for further educational goals

• These are not ‘applied’ bachelor’s degrees – meaning they are not terminal degrees

Foundational Assumptions• From ASCCC Resolution 9.05 Fall 2014• Whereas, no perceived difference should exist between the

quality of a baccalaureate degree offered by the California community colleges and those offered in any other segment of the California higher education system;

• Resolved, that the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges work with the Chancellor’s Office and other relevant constituencies to ensure that any baccalaureate degree created in the California community colleges must include upper division general education requirements comparable with those offered by the California State University

Political Considerations

• Communication with other public degree granting institutions at the systems level CSU UC Legislature Public

What Comes Next

• Pilot colleges plan to begin to offer upper division as early as Fall 2016

• Resolutions for the field to consider at the Fall 2015 Plenary Session (November)• Title 5 changes and policy guidelines are

required to accommodate new mission

Topics for Decision

• Upper division coursework definition• General Education (GE) requirements• Minimum Qualifications• Support services needed• Admission and Articulation with universities

Upper Division

• Resolution FA15 9.02• Minimum 120 semester units total to grant a

baccalaureate degree • Lower division is foundation for the field• Upper division should reflect more currency

in the field of study than foundational lower division

Upper Division

• Upper division units should require lower division knowledge, and apply that knowledge as demonstrated measures of critical thinking through writing, oral communication, and/or computation

• Minimum of 24 upper division semester units within the major

General Education Requirements• Minimum of 6 required semester units from two

different disciplines of upper division GE that: broadens the worldview of the students, and is dependent on lower division GE knowledge, and Reflects current issues or trends in the field as

appropriate• One of these courses must have an emphasis in

written communication, oral communication, or computation

General Education Requirements

• Resolution FA15 9.03• IGETC or CSU-GE Breadth required for lower

division GE + 6 units upper division• This caused some concern from some pilot colleges

General Education Requirements

Due to time constraints required by law, we are unable to develop our own GE requirements at this time. Therefore, we recommend using a standard pattern for lower division of IGETC or CSU-GE Breadth in addition to 6 units of upper division GE

Minimum Qualifications for Faculty • The instructor of record must have a Master’s

degree in any discipline AND 2 years of experience in the field AND required licensure

OR• Bachelor’s degree in any discipline AND 6

years of experience in the field AND required licensure

• No Equivalency to the Bachelor’s degree

Admission• It is expected that there will be more

applicants than spaces in the baccalaureate programs offered

• Resolution FA15 9.04 asks that the Senate work with the Chancellor’s Office to create fair and reasonable admission criteria that also protects access

Articulation• Transfer from CCC Bachelor’s Degree Program to

public universities Consultation with UCEP & CSU

• Completers should be eligible for Master’s Degree Programs Consultation with UCEP & CSU

• It is not expected that upper division GE will articulate now, but it may in the future. Both UC and CSU advocate for a case-by-case decision

based on the student’s completed work and new major
