Report of Progress toward Development of the Plan Required in § 23.1-909 for a Cooperative Online Degree Program
Trent, Dietra; Blake, Peter
State Council of Higher Education for Virginia
§ 23.1-909 requires the Secretary of Education and the Director of the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) to report, by October 1, 2016, their progress toward development of a plan for a "combined cooperative degree program" whereby any enrolled undergraduate student at any public or private nonprofit institution of higher education may complete a degree program online "at a tuition cost not to exceed $4,000, or such cost that is achievable, per academic year." Enacted in 2015, this statute codified House Bill 2320, which was introduced by Delegate Ben Cline, passed unanimously by both chambers and signed by Governor Terry McAuliffe. Secretary of Education Dietra Trent and the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) Director Peter Blake submitted this document as their report of progress toward fulfillment of § 23.1-909, which requires them, in consultation with the public and private two- and four-year institutions, to develop: a plan to establish and advertise a cooperative degree program whereby any undergraduate student enrolled at any two-year or four-year public or private, non-profit institution of higher education in the Commonwealth may complete, through the use of online courses at any such institution, the course credit requirements to receive a degree at a tuition cost not to exceed $4,000, or such cost that is achievable, per academic year. The following are appended: (1) § 23.1-909. Combined Cooperative Degree Program; (2) Online Bachelor-degree Programs Offered by Public Four-year Institutions; (3) Letters of Endorsement; and (4) Responses from NLCVA Members.
