Everything Baccalaureate
John Stanskas
Academic 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

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
