professional degrees. Become a college graduate. Make it
Happen!
Funded by the city and Mayor Bloomberg’s Commission for
Economic Opportunity, Accelerated Study in Associate
Programs (ASAP) emphasizes enriched academic support
services, block programs, and graduation with an
Associate degree within two to three years. Financial
assistance is available for students who demonstrate
financial need, and all students in the program receive
free textbooks and are provided with laptop computers to
use during their studies at LaGuardia Community College.
The LaGuardia Community College Accelerated Study in
Associate Programs (ASAP) is an exciting new program
that will enable students to earn their Associate Degree
as quickly as possible. ASAP began fall 2007 and is
sponsored by the Mayor's Office of New York City.
All ASAP students enroll in a full-time (12 credits
minimum) learning community, which consists of a closely
“blocked” set or pair of classes, created in
collaboration with academic departments and other
institutional resources to serve students’ interests and
scheduling needs. Departments such as
academic affairs, counseling, the library, and the
e-portfolio program contribute services and support to
enhance ASAP students' shared learning experiences.
Day and evening learning communities are offered in the
following majors: Business Administration - A.S., and
Liberal Arts and Sciences - A.A.
Additionally, every two weeks, ASAP students meet in one-to-one
appointments with their personal Academic Advisor to receive
academic and programmatic advisement, as well as referrals to
academic, personal, and career counseling resources on campus. The
ASAP Job Developer assists students by providing insightful career
guidance, including resume development, interview preparation, and
job placement, in close connection with the LaGuardia Career
Services Office.
ASAP sponsors academic enrichment workshops, such as Biology/Math
Prep and Reading/Writing Skills, throughout the year to promote the
academic development and success of its students. The program also
provides tutoring for any course where students have a need or
request a tutor. Additionally, the ASAP team actively encourages
students to take advantage of the wealth of resources available
throughout the College including free tutoring and writing
assistance, the Honors Program, work-study opportunities, and
extra-curricular activities offered through the Office of Student
Life.
