SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The College of Professional Studies at Syracuse University has announced a tuition-incentive program for employees of municipal governments and community colleges.
The College of Professional Studies (CPS) was previously known as University College. It’s located at 700 University Ave., just north of Marshall Street and across from the Martin J. Whitman School of Management.
The tuition-incentive program is open to any employee of a county, town, village, city, district, or authority (as demonstrated by a recent pay stub).
