College
Transfer
& Exchange Programs
LaGuardia graduates are more
likely to transfer to a 4-year
college, where they can earn a
Bachelor’s degree, than the average
community college graduate.
Therefore, as The World’s Community
College, LaGuardia has established
exchange programs in New York City,
New York State and in 31 countries
around the world, which provide
students with the opportunity to
experience life at a residential
4-year college.
Barnard- LaGuardia Intercollegiate
Program
This is an intensive 5-week,
residential summer program at
Barnard College, a prestigious
liberal arts college in Manhattan
affiliated with Columbia University,
for highly motivated students
interested in science.
All expenses are paid, including
room and board, and there is a $500
stipend upon completion of the
program. Participants will be
invited to take one or more science
courses at Barnard (at no charge)
during the 2004-2005 academic year
and receive academic credit at
LaGuardia. Applications are usually
available in early February.
Vassar "Exploring Transfer" and
"Exploring Research"
Both of these are intensive 5-week,
residential summer programs at
prestigious and beautiful
Vassar
College in Poughkeepsie, NY.
"Exploring Transfer" seeks students
with good writing skills, strong
motivation and a solid college
record of academic accomplishment.
Its companion program, "Exploring
Research" is specifically for
students with an interest in
science.
All expenses are paid, including
room and board. Applications are
usually available in early January.
Study Abroad
LaGuardia has “Study Abroad”
opportunities in 31 countries on 6
continents. You can also do your
internship or clinical fieldwork
abroad. Please check the website for
specific information including
application deadlines.
Taking a Class at Another CUNY
College
LaGuardia degree students may take
up to 2 courses at another
City
University of New York college by
using the permit procedure. Students
need to secure approvals in advance
from the appropriate academic
departments and the Registrar’s
Office. Under normal circumstances,
only courses not being offered by
LaGuardia in a particular semester
can be considered and the course(s)
must be transferable back to your
LaGuardia degree.
Transfer to the 4 Year College of Your Choice
The LaGuardia
Transfer Services Center has
extensive resources on transferring
to 4-year colleges. It also provides
individual counseling, sponsors
semiannual transfer fairs and hosts
free day trips to local 4-year
colleges. Services and resources are
available to all interested
students.
