The Tulane School of Professional Advancement (SoPA) is a school at Tulane University that offers 26 undergraduate degree programs and four master's degree programs,[1] including Master of Professional Studies degrees (MPS) in health & wellness management, information technology management,[2] and homeland security, which can be completed online.[3]

The School of Professional Advancement has two campuses.[4] The two locations are in Greater New Orleans, including one at the Tulane University campus in the Uptown neighborhood of New Orleans and a location in Elmwood, Louisiana.[5] The third location previously in Biloxi, Mississippi[6], has closed[7].

The first continuing education classes available through Tulane University were offered in 1884.[8] In 2006, the school was renamed from University College to the School of Continuing Studies as part of a university-wide renewal plan in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.[9] On March 17, 2017, the school was again relaunched as the School of Professional Advancement.[10]

Dr. Suri Duitch serves as the dean of the school and vice president for academic innovation at Tulane University.[11]
