Eaves Bill Moves Forward on Three-Year Degree Study

The Oklahoma House of Representatives on Tuesday passed legislation by Rep. Ryan Eaves, R-Atoka, to study the feasibility of three-year bachelor’s degree programs.

House Bill 3315 passed the House with a vote of 83-10 and now moves to the Senate for further consideration.

The measure directs the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education to examine whether bachelor’s degree programs could be completed in three years, or 90 credit hours, and to report their findings to the governor and legislative leaders by July 1, 2027.
