Every semester, several LaGuardia professors develop robust COIL projects in order to create an engaging learning environment for their students. To participate in COIL, simply sign up for a course with a COIL component. These courses are included in your CUNY tuition. You do NOT need to pay anything extra; simply register for them as you would for any other class.
These Spring I, 2021 courses include COIL projects.
