San Diego City College wins approval for new bachelor’s degree program

San Diego City College will now offer a bachelor’s degree in cyber defense and analysis following initial objections from the CSU system. The program is one of the first to be permitted under a new law that allows community colleges to offer bachelor’s degrees.

Of the 10 new programs proposed under AB 927, City College’s program was one of three that received objections from the CSU system for being duplicative of degrees offered by CSU schools. That is not permitted under the new law. Those issues have since been resolved, according to Voice of San Diego.

The new program will launch in August 2024. Students can start applying to the program in the fall.
