Solano College in running for 4-year degree program – Daily Republic

By Susan Winlow

Solano Community College is joining 35 other California community college districts that are vying for 15 slots in a pilot program that will allow selected colleges to offer a single four-year degree.

A bachelor’s degree in engineering technology was chosen, in part, because of the college’s current emphasis on math, science and technology, said Jowel Laguerre, the college’s president/superintendent.

Lack of access for students to some bachelor’s programs is what prompted the college to apply for the pilot program, Laguerre said.

“We feel it then becomes our responsibility to provide the opportunity for them,” he said. “In Solano County we need greater access to bachelor’s degrees. Having one here makes perfect sense.”
