City College's Proposal to Offer a 4-Year Degree in Cybersecurity
On November 14, San Diego City College traveled to Sacramento to present on our efforts to launch a bachelor’s degree in Cyber Defense and Analysis to the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. We were joined by two fellow community colleges who also presented their respective programs. This matter will then go before the Board of Governors in January 2023 for their consideration. Our presentation shows how the expansion of 30 additional baccalaureate degrees in California community colleges will help offer key workforce training for growing industry sectors that are not currently offered by the University of California (UC) or California State University (CSU) systems.

The Messy Road to Bring a Bachelor’s Degree to San Diego City College
During a February meeting of the college council of San Diego City College, cybersecurity professor David Kennemer laid out his proposal to develop a bachelor’s degree in cyber defense and analysis. Up until recently, community colleges could only offer associate’s degrees and workforce certifications. But thanks to 2021’s AB 927, up to 30 community colleges annually can now develop bachelor’s degrees that meet certain stipulations. It would be the first bachelor’s degree offered by City College in its over 100-year history, and only the second offered by a community college in the county.
