PHOENIX - Governor Doug Ducey on Tuesday signed a bill allowing
colleges to offer four-year degrees.
Senate Bill 1453 aligns Arizona with 23 other states that allow community colleges to offer four-year degrees in limited circumstances, Ducey's office said in a news release on May 4.
Under the new law, colleges offering the degrees must approve programs based on specific criteria, including:
Workforce need
Avoiding duplicate programs
It will take effect this fall and requires detailed internal and external processes, including becoming nationally accredited.
