General Education: College Option
If you plan to transfer to a bachelor’s program at CUNY you
need to complete the College Option Requirement in addition to the Common Core
Requirement. Please note you will not complete the College Option requirements
until you transfer to a baccalaureate program.
The number of credits needed to satisfy the College Option Requirement range
between 6 to 12. The number of credits you need to earn to fulfill the College
Option Requirement depends on whether you transferred into the college and how
many credits you had at the time of transfer.
Colleges may have different College Option requirements for different areas of
study; in some cases, College Option requirements also may fulfill the
requirements for your major.

credits you have earned here at LaGuardia:
- Earned
Associate Degree -- 6 College Option credits required
- Earned
More Than 30 Credits -- 9 College Option credits required
- Earned
