Get ahead
A running start on a Bachelor's
Students graduate high school with college credit already in hand, shortening the road and the cost to a four-year degree.
Early College & Dual EnrollmentA head start
on college.
Most Gateway students are taking college courses long before they graduate. Through dual enrollment, they earn transferable credit years early, at a fraction of university cost.
Unbeatable savings
80% less than a university.
At roughly $250 per class, Gateway students pay a fraction of the estimated $1,400+ per class at a university like ASU, over 80% in savings on every single course.
Across the current round of enrollment alone, that adds up to more than $225,000 saved in college tuition for Gateway families, credit earned now that they won't pay university prices for later.

How it works
A college program built around the student.
ASU credit
Courses come straight from Arizona State University through ASU Accelerate, and the credit transfers.
Self-paced, up to a year
Students take each course on their own clock, up to a full year, instead of racing a fixed semester.
Starts as early as junior high
Many Gateway students begin earning college credit years before they graduate, some in 6th and 7th grade.
Transcript on their terms
A course grade is added to the college transcript only if the student is satisfied with how they did.
Fast-track success
Where this leads.
Dual enrollment isn't a side activity at Gateway, it's a direct path to a degree, started early.
Middle school
ASU credit before high school
Our middle schoolers can begin earning ASU college credit, putting them years ahead on the path to an associate degree before 9th grade even starts.
Scholarships
Thousands in scholarships earned
Gateway students have earned thousands of dollars in college scholarships, opening doors and easing the cost of higher education for families.
My daughter is earning college credit in middle school. She walks a little taller now, she finally sees herself as a college student, because she already is one.
