What is an Applied Baccalaureate (AB)?
“Bachelor’s degree designed to incorporate applied associate courses and degrees once considered as ‘terminal’ or non-baccalaureate level while providing students with higher-order thinking skills and advanced technical knowledge and skills so desired in today’s job market.”
(Townsend, Bragg, & Ruud, 2009)

RESEARCH SHOWS…
• Impetus linked to workforce and political forces (community development)
• Some applied and transfer degrees very similar• Limited understanding - Missed opportunities to
communicate about degree pathways • Limited outcomes and impact data • Mixed perceptions
![Page 13: APPLIED BACCALAUREATES IN ILLINOIS COMMUNITY COLLEGES? Debra Bragg, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign March 13, 2015.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032200/56649c8b5503460f949460ce/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
STAKEHOLDER PERCEPTIONS
• Students• Community college personnel• University personnel• Employers
![Page 14: APPLIED BACCALAUREATES IN ILLINOIS COMMUNITY COLLEGES? Debra Bragg, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign March 13, 2015.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032200/56649c8b5503460f949460ce/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
STUDENT PERCEPTIONS
• Workforce relevant • Flexible schedule• Affordable• AttainableBUT…• Will AB degrees lead to
good jobs?
“I could take my electronics program, the credits from that, and apply it towards finishing the bachelor’s… Flexibility-wise, that’s nice.”
AB Graduate

COMMUNITY COLLEGE PERCEPTIONS
• Expand access
• Meet local labor market needs
• Serve communities
BUT…
• Can we afford ABs?
• Will they confuse institutional identity?
CCB degree programs enroll citizens who seek to remain in their communities as employees, taxpayers, and contributing community members.

UNIVERSITY PERCEPTIONS
• Responds to workforce shortages
BUT…• “Mission creep”• Escalate cost• New terminal (master’s
level)• Increase scrutiny of
community colleges
“People are going to look at you differently. I mean, you’re inviting a whole other level of criticism as a 2-year institution that is rolling out a baccalaureate program.”

EMPLOYER PERCEPTIONS
• AB = BS/BA
• Access for diverse students
• Cross-sector collaborative relationships
• Qualified workforce
• Services communities
“[The AB helps to] get the right people coming in the door at the right time with the right skills.”

PUBLIC AGENDA FOR COLLEGE AND CAREER SUCCESSGoal #3: High Quality Postsecondary Credentials
• Increase the number of people with high quality postsecondary credentials– Close equity gaps
• Improve pipeline transitions – “associates to baccalaureate degree levels”– Remove obstacles to transfer and bolster baccalaureate completion
opportunities
• Increase the number of postsecondary degrees in fields with critical skill shortages– Examples nursing, allied health, and information technology

Key Questions
• Where do Illinois’ “terminal” students go now?
• What are the associate-to-baccalaureate pathway (degree) gaps?
• What are the workforce and community needs?
• How can ABs address economic recovery and college completion goals?
