���������� Los Angeles College Launches Second Bachelor’s Degree Program

Students Can Save $10,000 or More

���������� Los Angeles College has a lot to celebrate this June. In addition to 1,500 students earning a degree or certificate, the Office of the Chancellor for the California Community Colleges (CCC) has authorized ���������� to offer a Bachelor’s degree in Aviation Maintenance: Avionics.

The first was for the Dental Hygiene program which has been the second most successful grantor of Bachelor’s degrees among the initial 15 California community colleges given permission to offer particular four-year degrees in 2014. 

The dental hygiene program enjoyed great success when it was an Associate degree path with 100% of graduating classes, more often than not, passing their professional exam and obtaining licensure. Already, 100% of the graduating class of 2023 has passed the exam.

We worked in partnership with Boeing to create this unique degree opportunity that is essential for the airline industry. As with our dental hygiene program, this higher-level degree not only gives our graduates the skills to be technicians, but also gives them broader opportunities for higher levels of employment, managerial roles, sales, teaching and more,” explained Dr. Carmen Dones, Dean of Academic Affairs, ���������� alumnae, and key leader in establishing the Baccalaureate programs at ����������. “And,” she added, “by earning their degrees here, our students can save so much on tuition. Some graduate debt-free.”

A four-year degree can be earned at ���������� for under $10,000. By contrast, for four years, a student will pay
