7. a. Except in the case of existing university programs, the university shall award associate degrees only in new programs jointly proposed and implemented with institutions fully authorized and accredited to award degrees at that level.
b. For the awarding of the baccalaureate degree, the university shall develop and maintain joint degree programs for health related professions and new nursing education programs with fully authorized and accredited institutions and shall be limited to offering upper division courses. Exceptions may be made with the approval of the Commission on Higher Education, except as provided in this act. In instances where the university has been authorized to offer a baccalaureate degree program jointly with another institution, it may independently award a second baccalaureate degree for that program for students who enter the program already possessing a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university.
