Allows Illinois community colleges to offer baccalaureate degree programs under certain conditions.

The bill allows the board of trustees of a community college district to establish and offer a baccalaureate degree program if specific conditions are met. These include demonstrating labor market need, ensuring the program does not duplicate existing offerings, and showing student demand. The board must also verify fiscal resources and ensure the program meets quality standards. Community colleges offering such programs must submit annual reports to the Illinois Community College Board, detailing enrollment, costs, and other metrics.
