THE CENTER FOR PROFESSIONAL STUDIES

A college foundation.
A professional advantage.

You’ve already taken an important step through higher education. CPS helps you build on that foundation with focused programs designed around professional utility.

Created for a qualifying student community

CPS programs are offered by invitation to students at qualifying colleges and in qualifying fields of study. Your eligibility reflects an existing higher-education foundation—and an opportunity to add a professional focus.

Designed from professional needs backward

We begin with the concepts and skills employers value and the knowledge that creates value in a career. Then we build the program around those priorities, with professional usefulness guiding what students learn.

Learning with a purpose beyond the grade

Our aim is understanding you can apply, not simply terminology you can recall. Whether you pursue an internship, employment, freelance work or a venture of your own, the goal is knowledge you can put to use.

AN EMPLOYER-FOCUSED APPROACH

Professional value should mean something to employers.

CPS openly seeks validation from major Fortune 500 companies for its programs and its approach to course design. We have received validation from some of the world’s most significant employers, recognizing our programs as especially useful for helping a résumé stand out.
