Our Mission
The College of Professional Studies expands the University’s educational offerings for adult learners, allowing them to better experience Quinnipiac’s three core values: high-quality academic programs, a student-oriented environment and a sense of community.

The College of Professional Studies offers a variety of content-specific courses and programs, taught by faculty with professional experience, delivered at times and places that meet the needs of adult learners with busy lives. Read what our students say about CPS.

The focus is on “best practices in education,” using leading-edge teaching methods and programs and developing models for others to follow. We adopt this approach not only in determining the content of each course, but also in the design, delivery and assessment of all courses and programs. Find out more about online learning.
