<p>Everybody, does anyone know whats the difference between Northeastern's College of professional studies to its other divisions in the college? Or is all the same thing, because when I asked the transfer rep at the college, she said they are two different things.</p>
<p>CPS is primarily for part time evening adult students. It also houses some alternative programs.</p>
<p>CPS has more of an open admissions, tuition is much lower, and they use adjunct faculty instead of full time professors. I know someone who wanted to go the Northeastern, but couldn’t get it. He spent a year at CPS, aced all his courses, and then transferred to the regular program. It might be an option for some people. This person was a foreign student who came right out of high school, so definitely not a part-timer.</p>
