Education - CUNY LaGuardia Community College

Education from CUNY LaGuardia Community College is a Campus Associate Agribusiness degree that prepares you for a Agriculture career. The jointly registered Childhood Education and Secondary Education programs, coordinated by the Education and Language Acquisition Department, are designed for students who are interested in pursuing teaching as a career and who plan to transfer to the Queens College School of Education. The programs can lead to admission to Queens College upon successful completion of LaGuardia's Associate in Arts (AA) degree requirements in Liberal Arts and provide a clearly defined academic path that leads to New York State provisional certification in teaching. They also ensure that the students' course selections at LaGuardia will simultaneously satisfy degree requirements at Queens College. These programs are a response to a predicted teacher shortage nationwide. This shortage is envisioned as being particularly acute among minority teachers, especially in the City of New York. These programs are also designed to respond to the shortcomings within the teaching profession itself by combining a strong Liberal Arts course of study with an early experiential component. These programs provide a broad intellectual foundation and an understanding of the world we live in, its history, diversity and cultures. The programs have two internships that are accompanied by a cooperative education seminar designed to integrate theory and practice. The LaGuardia internship will satisfy the 100 hours of experience working with children required for admission to the Childhood Education Program at Queens College. The intent of the internships is to involve students in the educational life of the classroom, to let them experience a variety of school settings, and to learn beginning skills in a teaching role. Through this experiential component, students will have the opportunity to clarify their personal goals, gain insight into the teaching profession and make informed career decisions about continuing in the field of urban education. Students in these programs are required to complete a Liberal Arts major along with the education co-major at Queens College. Queens College offers a large number of liberal arts majors. Therefore, the Liberal Arts elective credits at LaGuardia should be taken toward a Liberal Arts major at Queens College and students should consult with an advisor before selecting electives. Students in the Childhood Education program must have a grade of B in at least one course in each of the core content areas: Math, Science, Social Studies, and English Language Arts. They also must maintain a minimum overall cumulative average of 2.75 in order to begin study in this program at Queens College.While a GPA of 2.75 is the minimum requirement for consideration, IT DOES NOT GUARANTEE admission to this program at Queens College.
