The School of Professional Studies (previously, School of Continuing Education) at Columbia University offers thirteen master's degrees, courses for advancement and graduate school preparation, certificate programs, summer courses, high school programs in New York, Barcelona and Jordan, and a program for learning English as a second language. Though the offerings are diverse, the programs are unified by a mission to mount innovative instructional programs unavailable elsewhere at the University that meet Columbia’s standard of excellence, take good advantage of its resources, and produce positive educational outcomes for the members of the diverse student body. ==History== Non-degree programs were originally located in the School of General Studies, but relocated to the Division of Special Programs in 1995, which was renamed again as "the Division of Continuing Education and Special Programs" in 1997. It took its current name, the School of Professional Studies, in 2015.〔http://sps.columbia.edu/press-releases/columbia-university-school-of-continuing-education-renamed-school-of-professional-studies〕 In 2000 the Division began to consider offering degree programs, and was re-organized as the School of Continuing Education in 2002 under its founding dean, Frank Wolf. In 2002 it became both a Faculty and a Department of Instruction in the Arts and Sciences and added its first master’s degree program, the M.S in Strategic Communications. In the course of 2002-2006 it expanded its graduate offerings to eight M.S. Programs. It summer high school program expanded to Barcelona, Spain, and a cross-enrollment agreement with Union Theological Seminary were also established in 2002. Today, the school offers thirteen master's degrees, courses for advancement and graduate school prep, certificate programs, summer courses, high school programs in New York, Barcelona and Jordan, and a program for learning English as a second language. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Columbia University's School of Professional Studies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
