| LaGuardia Community College, located in Long Island City, Queens, educates more than 50,000 New Yorkers annually through degree, certificate and continuing education programs. Our guiding principle, “Dare To Do More”, reflects our belief in the transformative power of education—not just for individuals, but for our community and our country—creating pathways for achievement and safeguarding the middle class. LaGuardia is a national voice on behalf of community colleges, where half of all US college students study. Part of the City University of New York (CUNY), the College reflects the legacy of our namesake, Fiorello H. LaGuardia, the former NYC mayor beloved for his championing the underserved. Since our doors opened in 1971, our programs regularly become national models for pushing boundaries to give people of all backgrounds access to a high quality, affordable college education. We invite you to join us in imagining what our students, our community and our country can become. Visit www.laguardia.edu to learn more. Accelerated Study in
Associate Programs (ASAP) helps students earn their college degree as quickly
as possible, by removing the financial, academic, and personal obstacles that
many students confront. Key ASAP program features include a consolidated block
schedule, cohorts by major, required full-time study and comprehensive
advisement and career development services. Financial incentives include
tuition waivers for financial aid eligible students, yearly textbook vouchers,
