## Resource

California State University, the largest public college system in the U.S., just voted to allow (PDF File) the creation of bachelor's degrees that can be completed in as little as three years. This is a massive shift that could reshape how working adults and community college transfers earn a credential. The first shortened degrees could launch as early as fall 2027, though 2028 is more likely.
