Pritzker to call for expansion of 4-year degree offerings at some community colleges – Capitol News IL

The goal, according to the governor’s office, would be to make four-year degrees more accessible to working adults, particularly those who don’t live near a public university. Martin Torres, Pritzker’s first assistant deputy governor for education, said the governor’s office will push for legislation this year to allow community colleges to offer programs in subject areas where they have identified unmet workforce needs in their region.
