State bill would let community colleges offer bachelor's degrees| 89.3 KPCC:

"State legislators held a hearing in Sacramento today on California’s Master Plan for Higher Education. They were looking for new ideas on how to help more students get through college faster. Here’s one new idea: let community colleges offer bachelor’s degrees. KPCC’s Julie Small reports.

The state’s master plan for higher education was designed to ensure that every California student who wants a college degree can get it.
