Twenty-four states allow at least some community colleges to offer bachelor's degrees, according to a recent report from left-leaning think tank New America that offers one of the most comprehensive looks yet at the national landscape. Support for community colleges with bachelor's degrees has recently been gaining more traction. Seven of the 24 community college baccalaureate, or CCB, states have been authorized in the last five years, according to the report. Business programs are the most popular bachelor's degrees offered by community colleges, followed by those in health professions, education, nursing, and computer and information sciences.
