ValueColleges.com ranked the school’s homeland security studies bachelor’s degree program third out of 50 online university programs nationally for value in 2017[4].

The School of Professional Advancement has three campuses[5]. 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[6]. The third location is in Biloxi, Mississippi[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].
