CA AB95

Establishes a Baccalaureate Degree Pilot Program requiring California State University Trustees to create a model allowing students to earn a bachelor's degree for a total cost not exceeding $10,000, including textbooks.

Pilot program includes up to 7 areas of the state with CSU campuses, community college districts, and county offices of education that explicitly request participation.

Participating high school students may earn unlimited Advanced Placement credits and receive priority enrollment at community colleges; students must maintain a 2.5 GPA, attend full-time, and complete an associate degree in no more than 2 years.

Participating CSU campuses must accept a minimum of 60 semester units from high school or community college coursework and limit bachelor's degrees to fields in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.

Participating students receive priority enrollment at CSU campuses and mandatory fees and tuition cannot increase during their first two academic years in the program.
