award-winning
First Year Academies, which

Learning Communities,
ePortfolio,
and
First Year Institute.
Our
academic programs are designed to
provide a wide range of learning
opportunities in the areas of
academic achievement, personal
growth and career preparation.
Degree programs can be geared to
students who want to start working
in that industry immediately after
graduation or those who will
transfer
to 4-year colleges and go on to earn
a Bachelors Degree.
Students enter LaGuardia with
varying levels of preparation.
Therefore, our curriculum includes
non-credit basic skills courses in
Math, English, Reading and
ESL for those who need extra
attention in those areas, as well as
our rapidly growing
Honors Program.
The Honors Program features rigorous
classes and is affiliated with the
colleges Phi Theta
Kappa International Honor
Society, one of the largest chapters
in the country. Many students who
start out in basic skills courses
ultimately qualify for the Honors
Program and after graduation
transfer to top 4-year colleges.
This attests to the quality of a
LaGuardia education and the
dedication and fortitude of our
faculty and students.
