Santa Monica College (SMC) in California is set to launch a Bachelor of Science degree in Cloud Computing, marking its second four-year program after the Bachelor of Science in Interaction Design introduced in 2015. Approved by the California Community Colleges Board of Governors and the Accrediting Commission of Community & Junior Colleges, this new degree aims to meet the increasing demand for skilled workers in the cloud computing sector. A labor market study indicates there will be 2,777 annual job openings in the Los Angeles region for software developers and cloud-related occupations, with 65% of these positions requiring a baccalaureate degree. The program will build on SMC's existing cloud computing curriculum, developed in collaboration with Amazon Web Services. The estimated annual cost for California residents is $10,000, and median annual earnings in the field exceed $150,000. The Bachelor of Science in Cloud Computing is expected to officially launch in Fall 2027.
