A National Status Study of the
The community college
baccalaureate is a fairly recent phenomenon and little is known about the
number of programs, the parts of the country where these programs are most
prevalent, the degree programs that they are most likely to impact and the
effects of this type of organizational shift. The purpose of this study
are to conduct the first national research study regarding the current
status of the community college baccalaureate.
Because
little is known about the community college baccalaureate and its effect
on institutional survival it is important to investigate its current
status. In addition, because an increasing number of two-year schools are
lobbying to offer bachelor degrees this research is both timely and
significant. The information produced from this study will assist
educators, administrators, policy makers, members of the legislature and
countless others. Thus far most of the written works regarding the
community college baccalaureate are position and opinion papers and single
institution studies. To date there has never been a national study
carried out to ascertain the number of CC/BAs in existence. I will
conduct an objective study
[PDF large file] to examine the prevalence and effects of the
community college baccalaureate.

The National Council of State Directors of Community Colleges is an affiliated council of the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC). The council provides a forum for the exchange of information about developments, trends, and problems in state systems of community colleges. Through our affiliation with AACC, we also strive to affect national legislation that impacts our colleges and state agencies. This is the only Council that represents the collective interest of state agencies and state boards of community colleges. This council is a valuable forum to help state directors deal with the changes in attitude and policies towards community colleges at the international, federal, state and local levels. We will share information and learn lessons from each other to better serve the interests of our institutions in the coming years. |
