Do you thin they should offer bachelor degrees at community colleges? They are offering them online, so why not?

because then a junior college would not be a junior college. ALL would have to change to retain the value and importance of the degree.

Community colleges serve some very important and specific roles. They should not try to transform themselves into something fancier and forget their purpose. That mission creep is the same kind of thing that made a lot of teacher's colleges that became public liberal arts colleges suddenly decide they needed to offer master's degrees and then they wanted to call themselves universities and have doctoral programs. There is endless education bloat in this country -- and student loan debt has hit a trillion dollars, hundreds of billions more than all our credit card debt. This is already looming as a terrible drag on the economy. Let community colleges offer certificate programs and associate degree programs and an inexpensive two year start for people who do want to go on to get a bachelor's degree by doing their junior & senior years in a four year college.

Exactly, people are in debt from student loans at the cost of the ridiculous "hoity toit" universities. Why not make a Bachelors affordable to attain? People shouldn't be in debt to get an education.

Most community college were designed to be for people not ready or able to go to a four-year college. I think they should remain either for Associate Degrees or as preparation for a four-year school.

Personally I think more people should go to community colleges or tech schools and we should stop giving out Bachelor's degrees for partying.

Oh yeah that would be nice and even cut costs, community colleges are not set up for the addtional academics that it would take to garner a advanced degree, and people would always want more (Bachelors, Masters and PhDs) from their community colleges.

It is outside the stated mandate of community colleges, if you do that they just become additional colleges, but if that is the need, ok.

This is one of the best questions I've read in awhile. Most likely to keep from competition with the other State run schools. For sure a few should where Universities are far away.
