In June of 2003, Neil Kleiman, then-director of the Center for an Urban Future, addressed the Board of Trustees of the City University of New York detailing the need for creating the CUNY School of Professional Studies (CUNY SPS).[1]

In 2013, CUNY SPS opened its principal campus in midtown Manhattan, at the former site of the Gimbels department store.[2]

CUNY SPS became CUNY’s first and leading campus to offer fully online degree programs at both the bachelor's and master's level. In 2021, the U.S. News & World Report ranked CUNY SPS in the top 2% of best online bachelor’s programs nationwide.[3]
