Bill > H4403

This bill authorizes Quincy College to grant baccalaureate degrees, which are four-year college degrees. It amends existing Massachusetts General Laws, specifically chapter 15A, to include Quincy College as a public institution of higher education for certain purposes, such as the process for adding new degree programs and transfer benefits for students. This means Quincy College will follow the same procedures as other public colleges and universities in the state when developing new bachelor's degree programs and its students will be eligible for the same transfer benefits. The bill will become effective immediately upon its passage.
