LaGuardia Community College stands as an example of the power of ordinary individuals to make extraordinary things happen.

Every college has something special to brag about. For LaGuardia Community College, it is the quality of our faculty and staff, and the diversity of our students.

So many students come from so many different places to study together (over 160 different countries at last count) that we call ourselves The World’s Community College. Being The World’s Community College is not just a statement about who we are, it’s a statement about who we aspire to be. Our goal is to educate leaders for a global workforce and a global citizenry.

That means education at LaGuardia Community College must maintain the highest quality.

LaGuardia Community College is the best place to think globally and act locally. Whether it is in creating a piece of software or writing a play, understanding how to do calculus or understanding how to do physical therapy, students at LaGuardia Community College bring a world’s perspective to their studies.

LaGuardia Community College is the doorway through which students pass to many more achievements. Whether students use their research experience in National Science Foundation labs to become scientists,their co-op internship in accounting to secure a great job while they complete their CPA, their musical experience to compose great jazz, or their work with a local high tech industry to become an entrepreneur, LaGuardia graduates are well prepared to face the challenges of our complex world.

We hope for more from our students than achievement in the world of scholars and business, however. We intend to provide experiences for our students to continue to grow as human beings, whether that means enrolling their children in our day care center, or providing community service activities through the social organizations in Queens. LaGuardia Community College students enter the world prepared for life.

The best part of LaGuardia Community College is you ?our next student! As we build a great institution, we welcome great students who will challenge the faculty and staff. We use our outstanding alumni to inspire the next generation of students. We welcome immigrant students to use the College as a gateway to their family and friends so that they, too, can succeed in life. We welcome the returning adult student who never thought college was for them, as well as the student just graduating from high school. Together, the rich mix of people, ideas and projects makes LaGuardia Community College outstanding. We welcome you to the campus.
