Abstract	This paper identifies and examines major issues and implications of the proposal to substantially increase the number of applied baccalaureate degrees offered by Ontario's Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology, including increasing four-year applied degree offerings and introducing three-year applied degrees. Currently, provincial legislation limits the number of degree programs colleges may offer, along with the degree type and length. I argue that although substantially increasing degree offerings would meet important economic, labour market, and access needs, there are a number of issues and implications related to quality and recognition, differentiation and mandate, and access and demand that need to be explored and addressed in greater detail. These issues and implications will be identified and examined in light of the legislated function of colleges within Ontario's postsecondary system, recent college and student participation in these degree programs, and the demand for applied baccalaureate degrees in Ontario. (As Provided).
