• Liberal Arts

    There’s a reason why Liberal Arts is the most popular area of study at LaGuardia Community College: it provides students with a comprehensive foundation in humanities, mathematics and the sciences, the social sciences, and language and literature.

    Whether you’re undecided about your desired career or want to study a broad range of subjects, the Liberal Arts Core in Social Science and Humanities will allow you to experiment across an array of fields. The Liberal Arts education offered at LaGuardia challenges students to push boundaries while they learn to reason critically, communicate effectively, and make connections across subjects and in the real world.

    In addition to the Liberal Arts Core, there are 24 majors and 2 certificate programs within the Liberal Arts area of study to choose from.

    LaGuardia graduates who have planned their education carefully can often transfer to four-year institutions as juniors. Meet regularly with a LaGuardia academic advisor and visit the Office of Transfer Services to plan for your graduation and transfer.

    *Introductory Cluster Requirement    
    An introductory cluster containing four courses with an Integrated Seminar (LIB 110, one credit) is required for all DAY students; students must take the Cluster during 12-week session when they take ENG 101.  Extended Day students and students who change to Liberal Arts major after completing ENG 101 may substitute a Liberal Arts elective.  
       
    ** Students take four History classes and one Urban Studies class to fulfill the History Option.  Of the four History classes, at least one must be a non-US History class.  The Urban Studies class can be one that focuses on a historical topic.  
       
     1 One of your elective courses in the categories above must be an Urban Study course.  NOTE: BTN 195, SCN 195 & HUN 245 are non-liberal arts Urban Study courses, and, if chosen, will only apply to the Unrestricted Elective category (all other Urban Study courses will satisfy the requirements of the 1 categories above).   
       
    2 If LIB 110 is not taken as part of the English cluster requirement, students may substitute any Liberal Arts elective credit (e.g., he/she may take LRC103 or may use a liberal arts credit that was transferred in--or taken--that is "not counted" towards the degree).  Note: The LIB110 box on DegreeWorks will never be checked off, but the Registrar's Office will automatically substitute the one liberal arts credit when evaluating the student's transcript for graduation.  Students do not need a waiver.

    *Introductory Cluster Requirement   
    An introductory cluster containing four courses with an Integrated Seminar (LIB 110, one credit) is required for all DAY students; students must take the Cluster during 12-week session when they take ENG 101.  Extended Day students and students who change to Liberal Arts major after completing ENG 101 may substitute a Liberal Arts elective.  
       
    Total Credits:  60 
       
    ** These courses fulfill Queens College Humanities I, Tier 1 Liberal Arts Requirements, but will not count toward the major.  
    *** Fulfills Urban Study requirement  
    1 If LIB 110 is not taken as part of the English cluster requirement, students may substitute any Liberal Arts elective credit (e.g., he/she may take LRC103 or may use a liberal arts credit that was transferred in--or taken--that is "not counted" towards the degree).  Note: The LIB110 box on DegreeWorks will never be checked off, but the Registrar's Office will automatically substitute the one liberal arts credit when evaluating the student's transcript for graduation.  Students do not need a waiver.
