In just over 30 years, half of states have begun authorizing at least one community college to confer bachelor’s degrees. These programs provide career-oriented, affordable opportunities for local residents to access bachelor’s degree programs without leaving home. Since spring 2018, our team has analyzed community college bachelor’s (CCB) policy and programs across the country. And now, we invite you to join the Center on Education & Labor at New America on December 5 from 3-5 pm as we share our newest research and discuss the future of CCBs with our distinguished panel of state and institutional higher education leaders.
