1 LAGUARDIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE is the only two-year school in New York to offer an Associate in Applied Sciences degree in Industrial Design. The Industrial Design Program coordinated by the Humanities Department leads to an Associate in Applied Science Degree (AAS). Industrial Design is a combination of applied science, whereby aesthetics, ergonomics, and usability of mass-produced products may be improved for marketability and production. The role of an industrial designer is to create and execute design solutions towards problems of form, usability, user ergonomics, engineering, marketing, brand development and sales. The Industrial Design program provides students a foundation experience in the necessary skills to begin a career in Computer Assisted Design (CAD), Modelmaking, Product Design and Fabrication or transfer to a four-year institution.

5 PATHWAYS The Pathways Common Core is the new general requirement in all CUNY Colleges. The Common Core includes 30 credits of liberal arts courses for Associate in Arts (AA) and Associate in Science (AS) degree programs. These 30 credits will satisfy the general education requirements at any college in CUNY. This is an Associate in Applied Sciences degree program and therefore students enrolled in this program will complete only a portion (21 credits) of the common core requirements as described above. Pathways Link For information on Pathways, please refer to: Transferring within CUNY: Pathways is designed to make it easier for you to transfer from one CUNY college to another. When you ve fulfilled a Common Core or College Option requirement at one CUNY school those requirements will be met at any other CUNY school; AP credits and non-cuny credits may also count toward your Common Core or College Option requirements. Certain CUNY majors can easily transfer their major credits. General Pathways Transfer Facts Courses passed for credit at any CUNY college will transfer for credit at any other CUNY college. Courses that fulfill a Required Common Core requirement at any CUNY college will transfer for Required Common Core credit at any other CUNY college. Courses that fulfill a Flexible Common Core requirement at any CUNY college will transfer for Flexible Common Core credit at any other CUNY college. Courses that fulfill a College Option requirement at any CUNY college will transfer for College Option credit at any other CUNY college. Courses that are designated as "Gateway" courses into a major will transfer for major credit at any other CUNY college that offers the major. If you have any transfer issues when going to a 4-year CUNY college, keep in mind that there is an appeal process. The appeal process is described here: Appeals-Process/
