Expanding on City College of New York (CCNY)’s mission to produce citizens who make an impact on the cultural, social, and economic vitality of New York, the nation, and the world, CCNY CPS program was founded in 1997 as a bridge to the community, with the primary goal of providing participants with quality education and training as a means to achievement and economic improvement. CPS, formerly known as ACE, was known for its experience offering adult basic education, helping community residents improve their literacy skills in English and obtain their GED diplomas. CPS slowly expanded services with its tuition- based, grant-funded programs. CPS was the department that linked the college to the community, the program that offered enrichment, remedial and professional, and workforce development courses.

Juan Mercado, dean of Interdisciplinary Studies at CWE, at the behest of President Vince Boudreau, has been overseeing and relaunching Continuing and Professional Studies for almost a year. Their mission is to offer students the future of work. They are implementing the career paths that students are clamoring for: healthcare, environmental engineering, tech certifications, even liberal arts that include video editing and graphic illustration for books. “Alumnus” Editor Thea Klapwald chatted with Mercado about the changes. He encouraged alumni to take a look at the courses offered as they are about 90% online. “We offer a variety of classes on different subject areas: www.ccny.syudia.com/cps,” said Mercado.

CPS was featured as a "Program Highlight" in the Fall 2022 Volume of The City College of New York Alumni Association. Read what CPS' Dean Juan Carlos Mercado had to say about our program's future on pages 18-19.
