Controversy Some controversy has arisen following the re-branding of the school as the School of Professional Studies and its expansion. In 2017 and 2019 the Columbia Senate met to discuss whether the existence of the School of Professional Studies negatively impacted the university's reputation. The External Relations Committee at Columbia expressed concerns that SPS's “proliferation of graduate degrees without academic oversight can threaten Columbia's external brand and reputation.” An ad hoc committee was formed by students and graduates after rumors surfaced that students in the Applied Analytics program were considering a lawsuit for what they believed was an inferior program. In addition, other Columbia schools, such as the engineering school and the business school, have criticized SPS for offering programs that appear to overlap with programs already offered by their respective schools. The meeting in 2017 saw continued contentions upon the matter, where a statement unanimously endorsed by the External Relations Committee was presented to criticize the school's swell in graduate degrees without adequate academic oversight.
