Community colleges in Ohio, including Cuyahoga Community College, could offer a bachelor's degree if a university could not meet the required training needs of businesses, according to the Gov. John Kasich's proposed budget.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Community colleges could offer a limited number of bachelor's degrees and college credit could be awarded for obtained skills under Gov. John Kasich's budget plan.

Details of the proposals to be presented Monday when the biennial budget is unveiled were offered Friday when Ohio Board of Regents Chancellor John Carey and Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor attended a symposium at Sinclair Community College near Dayton.

While no information was released regarding funding, which will be based on performance measures including retention and graduation, new programs were proposed.

The budget will build on the success Kasich has had with the presidents of two- and four-year institutions, who have worked together to develop the funding formula, officials said.

Here are the proposals:

Allowing community colleges to offer bachelor's degrees: Community colleges will be able to offer affordable bachelor's degrees if a university is unable to offer training that meets the need of local businesses.

Awarding degrees and certificates based on competency instead of just classroom time: College presidents will be asked to develop a model in which students can receive competency-based credit for a limited number of courses based on their demonstrated competencies instead of just the amount of time spent in the classroom.

The state will also allocate $500,000 to work with Ohio businesses to develop a competency-based training program for workers who wish to learn the skills necessary to gain employment for certain in-demand jobs.

Helping more high school students get college credit: The proposed budget expands on the College Credit Plus program that promotes dual enrollment programs that allow high school students to earn college credit at no cost.

Ohio will dedicate $13.5 million over the next two years for economically disadvantaged high schools to hire and train more teachers for college-level courses.

Schools that increase the number of students participating in College Credit Plus and advanced-placement courses will share in $6.5 million in new funding in FY17.

Using campuses during summer, to help low-income students: To help low-income community college and regional campus students who want to attend college during the summer, funds from the Ohio College Opportunity Grant will be used to fill a gap in the federal Pell Grant, which does not fund year-round studies.
