Pritzker supports Community College Baccalaureate Degrees
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has announced support for new legislation — Senate Bill 2482 and House Bill 3717 — that would allow Illinois community colleges to offer baccalaureate degrees in high-demand fields. This initiative aims to expand access to affordable, flexible higher education options for working adults and address the state’s growing workforce needs. “Illinois has long been a leader in expanding educational opportunities and preparing our workforce for the jobs of tomorrow,” said Gov. Pritzker. “By allowing our community colleges to offer baccalaureate degrees for in-demand career paths, we are making it easier and more affordable for students—particularly working adults in rural communities—to advance their careers while strengthening our state’s economy.” Read the joint ICCB/ICCTA/ICCCP/ICCMC news release applauding Gov. Pritzker's support of Community College Baccalaureate Degrees HERE. Learn more about transforming Illinois through Community College Baccalaureate Degrees HERE. Want to learn more about ICCTA?
