The School's growth has been remarkable. Launching twenty-four degrees since 2006, our enrollment has risen by more than 30% in the last four years to over 4,000 students in the credit-bearing programs. We serve thousands more who are enrolled in our non-degree and grant funded workforce development programs. In addition, CUNY SPS has a growing and active alumni network and has established the CUNY SPS Foundation, which offers multiple scholarship opportunities to our current students.
