"Cornell was founded to be an institution for 'any person,' and accessibility is a central commitment that is key to our mission. The online Bachelor of Professional Studies program will expand access to a Cornell education in entirely new ways, bringing a Cornell undergraduate degree within reach for working adults in many different life circumstances."
"Adult learners bring deep professional experience, perspective and motivation to the classroom. This program is designed to honor that experience while providing the academic rigor, support and community that define a Cornell education."
"The program is built for working professionals and adults with some college experience but no undergraduate degree. Most courses will be asynchronous, with optional live sessions for discussion, collaboration and networking. Students may begin in either the fall or spring semester and are expected to complete the degree within five years."
Cornell University is expanding educational access by launching a part-time, fully online Bachelor of Professional Studies (BPS) degree program through the School of Continuing Education, beginning August 2027. The inaugural major, organizations, markets and society, integrates business, economics, policy and social sciences. The program targets working professionals and adults with some college experience but no undergraduate degree. Most courses will be asynchronous with optional live sessions for collaboration and networking. Students can begin in fall or spring semesters and complete the degree within five years. Faculty from across Cornell's schools will teach the program, collaborating with Cornell SCE and eCornell to create high-quality online learning experiences. Applications open January 2027.
