You did it, our 2026 CUNY SPS SEEK graduates! 💙🎓

Do you know about SEEK?

The Percy Ellis Sutton Search for Education, Elevation, and Knowledge (SEEK) program began as a pre-baccalaureate program in 1965 at The City College of New York. In 1966, the New York State Legislature established the program as CUNY's opportunity program in senior and comprehensive colleges and contributes to CUNY's mission of access and success in higher education.

The SEEK program at the CUNY School of Professional Studies (CUNY SPS) was created to provide additional support for the college and career success of eligible part-and-full time transfer students who study in online degree programs. CUNY SPS is the University's newest SEEK program, serving predominantly part-time adult learners in fully online bachelor's degree programs. The CUNY SPS SEEK program is the first of its kind within the University.
