San Mateo County Community College District

SB 850, introduced by State Senator Marty Block in 2014, allowed up to 15 community college districts within California to offer a single four-year baccalaureate degree program for a professional qualification that did not compete with existing four-year universities. SMCCCD officials pushed to have the district included in the pilot program, and the California Community Colleges Board of Governors selected the Respiratory Care program at Skyline to participate.
