Administrative History
The Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision (BPSS) monitors and regulates proprietary (for-profit) non-degree granting educational institutions in New York. Proprietary schools provide instruction in business and trade curricula. BPSS licenses schools, their directors and instructors; approves curricula and advertisements; and monitors, audits, and investigates school programs. BPSS conducts preliminary investigations of complaints against proprietary schools. If charges are serious, the Education Department's Office of Counsel does a thorough investigation of the school administration, curriculum, and finances. Major cases may be referred to the Department of Law for criminal prosecution.
The New York State Archives is part of the Office of Cultural Education, an office of the New York State Education Department.
