Authorizing Quincy College to confer baccalaureate degrees

AI Summary

This bill authorizes Quincy College, which is an enterprise department of the city of Quincy, to grant baccalaureate degrees, which are four-year college degrees. It specifies that Quincy College will be considered a public institution of higher education for the purposes of certain state laws, specifically clauses (a) and (v) of section 9 of chapter 15A of the General Laws. This means Quincy College will follow the same process as other public institutions when seeking to add new baccalaureate degree programs, and its students will be eligible for the MassTransfer program, a state initiative that provides transfer benefits to students within the public higher education system, provided the department of higher education approves this eligibility without unreasonable delay. The act takes effect immediately upon its passage.
