Pennsylvania HB794 amends definitions, State Board of Education duties, and degree offerings in community colleges.
Pennsylvania HB794 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to redefine "community college" and expand its offerings. The bill specifies that community colleges can provide various educational programs, including two-year, four-year, and adult education. The State Board of Education is tasked with prescribing the types of diplomas, certificates, or degrees awarded to students completing post-secondary courses. Additionally, community colleges may offer a baccalaureate of science degree in nursing to students with or pursuing an associate degree in nursing. The changes take effect in 60 days.
