Illinois HB3717 allows community colleges to offer baccalaureate degrees if certain conditions are met.
HB3717 amends the Public Community College Act to allow the board of trustees of a community college district to establish and offer a baccalaureate degree program. This can only occur if the board meets specific conditions, including demonstrating labor market needs, ensuring the program does not duplicate existing offerings, and showing the program's purpose and target population. The board must also verify the community college has the fiscal resources and expertise to offer the program.
