Bill Summary

Amending the charter of Wheaton College

AI Summary

This bill amends the charter of Wheaton College by updating the language to allow the college to confer degrees typically offered by colleges in the Commonwealth, except for medical degrees and degrees of Juris Doctor (J.D.) and Master of Laws (LL.M.). The bill removes the specific mention of the Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees, providing the college with more flexibility in the degree programs it can offer.
