I'm thinking about getting a head start on my career by attending technical college courses while still in high school. Does Gateway Technical College have programs for high school students or dual enrollment options?
Yes, Gateway Technical College does offer dual enrollment and high school programs. According to their website, they have a program called "Start College Now" which allows juniors and seniors in high school to take college courses at Gateway.
They also provide a "Career Academy" program where you can start your career path while you're still in high school. Courses are offered in fields like Engineering, Health, IT, and Manufacturing, among others. These courses are completed at the high school and count for both high school and college credit.
Furthermore, they offer "Advanced Standing" and "Transcripted Credit" courses. Advanced Standing refers to college courses students take in high school, where they receive college credit upon enrolling at Gateway after graduation. Transcripted Credit refers to college courses that are taught at the high school by high school teachers. Students earn both high school and college credit.
Do check with your high school counselor and the Gateway Technical College Admissions Office for more details on how to apply and for specific requirements that might be needed. Make sure you meet all the deadlines and satisfy any prerequisites needed for these programs.
