Over fifty percent of our faculty holds Ph.D.s in their field – that’s more than twice the national average for community colleges.
  

How do we attract the top brass to teach the most underserved? The answer is simple. We nurture their natural drive to experiment.

LaGuardia professors are encouraged to treat their classrooms as labs of innovation, creating new curricula, pioneering new programs and opening new doors for our students. In doing so, we get closer to closing the opportunity gap and saving the middle class.

Our faculty is bold. They take risks. And with their vision and leadership, we’re changing how people view community colleges across the country.
