AB 2301: Community colleges: Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing Pilot Program.
What AB 2301 does, verified September 4, 2026
The proposed legislation aims to establish a pilot program for baccalaureate degrees in nursing at community colleges. This program will allow select districts to offer a bachelor of science in nursing degree, with a focus on community colleges that already offer associate degree in nursing programs. The program will prioritize registration for students with an associate degree in nursing from participating districts. The program will be limited to 10 districts and will require national accreditation for participating programs. The California Community Colleges will conduct an evaluation of the program by July 1, 2034, to determine its effectiveness and make recommendations for future expansion.
