In late 2013, the first Texas Affordable Baccalaureate Degree was launched by Texas A&M-Commerce and South Texas College. The grants, totaling more than $650,000, will go to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Tarleton State University, South Texas College (in partnership with Austin Community College), and Texas A&M University-Commerce. When Texas A&M-Commerce and South Texas College launched the first Affordable Baccalaureate Degree program, the new degree established was the Bachelor’s in Organization Leadership. Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi plans to employ its funds to craft an Affordable Baccalaureate program in mechanical engineering technology. To make college more affordable for more Texans, each public university should have at least one bachelor’s degree under the Affordable Baccalaureate program.
