To succeed, our students’ classroom must extend outside of the school building, literally and figuratively. In addition to traditional academics, CPS Tstudents experience arts and culture from around the world. They learn to solve problems in a productive way, and how food and exercise lead to a healthy lifestyle. Students build respectful relationships with each other and contribute to a school environment that encourages them to explore their history, connect to their roots and discover their talents. Partnership makes CPS possible. We thank our 2016-17 Academic partners, volunteers, and partner organizations that help us provide and nurture a strong educational foundation for the students at CPS. These are only a few examples of how so many of us come together to create a successful school program.

  • MAGAZINE President’Smessage
    FALL/WINTERRosemont 2009 MAGAZINE president’smessage Dear Alumni and Friends, This fall semester at the College has been nothing short of amazing! We worked so hard throughout last year, our first year of the Operational Plan, to put into place our six goals of the Strategic Plan – all at the same time. What we took on was, frankly, monumental – last year alone we had eleven separate task forces working to assure that we will, in fact, do what we said we would do. So imagine the joy on campus as so many of our plans began to take shape, with incredible success. You will recall that one of our plans was to make most of our graduate and professional degrees available (as an option) fully online. For many of our adult students, taking classes online is not only convenient for their busy schedules with work and families, but it is also at times their preferred way to learn. I am very proud to tell you that we re-designed all of our courses to deliver the best online classes, invested in new technology, ran workshops for all faculty who teach online, and received the proper approvals from the Pennsylvania Department of Education and Middle States, our regional accreditor, all in less than one year! We launched both the MBA and the BS in business as programs that could be taken totally online last April, and in July we did the same for our Master of Science in Management . We have been pleased to note that, indeed, many of our adult students are taking more of their courses online, and are reporting that these courses are rigorous, but also exciting.
