The College of Professional Studies Reaches Enrollment of Over 1000 Students and Prepares to Celebrate Ten–Year Anniversary

Established in 2001 by The George Washington University Board of Trustees, The College of Professional Studies (CPS) was created to offer unique programs not available throughout the University's more traditional colleges and schools. After the sixth week of classes in the Fall 2010 semester, The College of Professional Studies student enrollment stands at 1036, which is 160 more students than were enrolled at the same time last year. This marks the first time in its ten–year history that CPS has exceeded an enrollment of 1000 students. In 2011, CPS will celebrate the ten–year anniversary of its establishment at GW and will introduce a number of new graduate programs including Sustainable Urban Planning, Multi–Sector Leadership, and Journal Publishing. With the initiation of these programs and with future programs, CPS hopes to continue its commitment to creating academic programs that address the learning needs of the region's and the nation's professionals.
