Associate Degree An associate degree is ideal for someone looking to save money on their college education, looking to complete the first two years of a bachelor's degree before transferring to a university, or looking to earn a degree in order to be more competitive in the workforce.

Certificate of Completion If employable skills for quick entry into the workforce are

what you are after, a certificate of completion may be for you. Certificates generally require fewer courses to complete and some are obtainable in just one semester. Many can lead to associate degrees.

University Transfer GateWay offers a block of core courses guaranteed to transfer to

any of the three state universities. This is a great way to take the same courses at a lower price in a smaller, more personal environment.

Apprenticeships Need to earn money right away? GateWay’s Apprenticeship

programs allow you to earn a living and an associate degree and/or certificate of completion at the same time.
