School of Continuing and Professional Studies

Mission Statement 

The School of Continuing and Professional Studies (SCPS) at Lehman College opens the doors of CUNY to every adult in the Bronx who is ready to grow and then works to remove the barriers that stand in the way. We serve working adults, immigrants, first-generation learners, career changers, and entrepreneurs through credit and noncredit pathways that lead to recognized credentials, college degrees, and careers that sustain families. We prepare our learners to lead in the AI age, pairing AI fluency and technical skill with critical thinking, empathy, and a deep responsibility to community. We also partner with employers, government, and community organizations so that learning turns into lasting opportunity for our borough. Everything we do is rigorous, flexible, and designed around our learners’ lives, and it begins with one commitment: our learners’ future comes first.
