AI Summary

  • Authorizes three California Community College Districts (Grossmont-Cuyamaca, San Diego, and San Mateo County) to establish and participate in a single baccalaureate degree pilot program.

  • Requires the pilot program to expire 8 years after establishment and mandates a legislative report be submitted within one year before expiration evaluating program success.

  • Limits baccalaureate degrees to fields with documented unmet workforce needs that do not unnecessarily duplicate nearby public institutions' programs, and requires districts to seek accreditation as baccalaureate degree-granting colleges.

  • Allows governing boards to charge baccalaureate-seeking students fees for non-transfer courses, with all collected fees deposited in designated district funds for program expenses.

  • Permits governing boards to enter into agreements with local businesses and agencies to provide educational services and requires districts to maintain separate records for upper and lower division course enrollment.
