Bachelor's Degree at Snow College?

This is fun. Yesterday the Board of Regents amended the definition of Snow College to include language from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions which includes the following: “Comprehensive Community Colleges (Associate’s Colleges) generally include institutions where all degrees are at the associate’s level, or where bachelor’s degrees account for less than 10 percent of all undergraduate degrees.” This language is consistent with the emerging trend generally referred to as Community College Baccalaureates.

This amendment makes possible a limited number of baccalaureate programs at Snow College while maintaining its primary mission as a two-year college. Approval of baccalaureate programs for Snow College will still take considerable effort. But it is now possible. We will bring forward a proposal within the next 12 months to begin our first bachelor’s degree—most likely a music education degree.
