Is Columbia school of professional studies worth it?

[Scruffyjoe]

Hi everyone 

I have been accepted into a master of science program at Columbia school of professional studies. I did do much research when I applied for the program but now that I have received the acceptance I have had a look around. The SPS is an extension school with weekend or evening classes. How well regarded are these programs from Columbia SPS? Is it worth spending my time and money on this degree or is something that is looked upon and would ruin my CV? 

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated 

thanks

I went to Columbia for graduate school. The School of Professional Studies is simply the division under which Columbia houses many of its interdisciplinary professional degrees that don't really belong anywhere else (because...they're professional). Some of them are for sure highly regarded in the field, and the classes are taught by Columbia faculty who teach elsewhere - like the MS in actuarial science is highly regarded and the courses are taught by Columbia math, statistics, and business professors.
