DEPARTMENT: ASAP
MISSION
The Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) at Queensborough Community College is
dedicated to fostering and sustaining a student-centered community by creating a small college
environment within a large urban university. The program provides a nurturing atmosphere, through
financial, academic, career and personal support, which promotes lifelong, active learning along with a
sense of community and responsibility. With guidance from ASAP Student Managers, a Student
Management Coordinator, a Career and Employment Specialist, and a Director, ASAP students enjoy
personalized advisement, cohort-based education, job-related advice and specialized enrichment activities
which support collaborative learning, higher retention and higher graduation rates. These full-time
students are prepared to graduate within two to three years and are informed about transfer and/or
employment possibilities through a network of resources within ASAP and the College. The goal of the
program is to graduate at least fifty percent of each initial cohort of students within three years.
