Another community college approved for bachelor's degrees - James Paterson, Education Dive

Clark State Community College has joined two-year colleges in Ohio and those in 18 other states offering a four-year degree — but it's a trend that some four-year institutions find troubling.  Ohio initially rejected Clark State's proposal because the manufacturing technology management program it proposed appeared to be too similar to degrees offered at nearby four-year institutions, according to the Springfield News-Sun. The college revised the plan, which was approved. Clark State officials said in a statement that local employers have committed to enrolling more than 100 students in the new four-year program. https://www.educationdive.com/news/another-community-college-approved-for-bachelors-degrees/525562/
