Business
It’s no surprise that Business is one of the largest program areas at
LaGuardia. New York City is the world’s center of commerce and LaGuardia
is located in its most rapidly developing borough.
Queens is a vital
player in the New York City economy and also supports a dynamic,
thriving business scene of its own, creating wonderful opportunities for
both new and established companies.
Transfer
Many business careers require, at minimum, a Bachelor’s degree.
LaGuardia graduates who have planned their program carefully can
often
transfer to a 4-year college as juniors.
Colleges that you’re
considering for transfer may have different requirements, so you should
meet regularly with a LaGuardia academic advisor and
Transfer Services,
starting as early as possible.
