Who We Are
The Off-Campus College (OCC) at the CUNY School of Professional Studies (SPS) offers working students access to a college education by providing workplace related, credit-bearing courses and certificates. Founded in 1980 as part of Cornell University's Institute for Women and Work, the Off-Campus College provides college courses for women and men in preparation for advancement in the work place. The OCC is continuing its mission of advancing the world of work by introducing students to the history, sociology and behavior of organizations through the study of related issues in Communication, Finance, Management, Leadership, Diversity, Education and Adult Learning. At the OCC, we pride ourselves on working with our students individually to help them successfully begin or restart college careers.
