Lake Tahoe Community College One Step Closer to Offering 4 Year Degrees
Submitted by paula on Wed, 07/02/2014 - 12:03am
The likelihood of four-year degrees coming to Lake Tahoe Community College just got a major boost. A bill authorizing California’s Community College System to launch a limited baccalaureate degree pilot program was just approved by the State Assembly Committee on Higher Education. Senate Bill 850 (SB 850) allows 15 California community colleges to offer one 4-year degree as early as January 1, 2015, and starting no later than the 2017-18 academic year. The bill already passed through the state Senate back in May by a 34-0 vote.
Community’s Support Needed to Make 4-Year Degrees Possible at LTCC

This year, Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC) is celebrating its 40th year of serving the Lake Tahoe Basin and surrounding communities. In my three years working at LTCC, it is clear to me that the college is here in this beautiful location because a group of dedicated people had a vision of higher education in Tahoe, and the determination to make sure it happened. We are now at a crossroads due to changes in funding, community college priorities, and statutes.
