19 Tex. Admin. Code § 2.87 - Criteria for New Baccalaureate Degree Programs
(a)
The Board may authorize baccalaureate degree programs at a public junior
college in the fields of applied science, including a degree program in applied
science with an emphasis on early childhood education, applied technology, or
nursing, that have a demonstrated workforce need.
(b) All proposed baccalaureate degree
programs must meet the criteria set out in this subsection, in addition to the
general criteria in subchapter A, §2.5 (relating to General Criteria for
Program Approval), and subchapter F, §2.118 (relating to Post-Approval
Program Reviews), of this chapter.
(c) Each public junior college seeking to
offer a baccalaureate degree program must comply with the requirements and
limitations specified in Tex. Educ. Code, chapter 130, subchapter L, except for
§130.307(4). A public junior college is not required to establish
articulation agreements for the supporting Associate of Applied Science degree
program(s) but must secure a teach-out agreement with a Texas public
institution of higher education that offers a similar baccalaureate
program.
(d) A public junior
college offering a baccalaureate degree program must meet all applicable
accreditation requirements of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
Commission on Colleges. A public junior college that has attained accreditation
by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges is
authorized to change accreditors to any accrediting agency approved by the
Board under chapter 4, subchapter J of this title (relating to
Accreditation).
(e) A public junior
college district may not offer more than five baccalaureate degree programs at
any time not-withstanding if accredited as a single institution.
