At Gateway U, we have a 5 prong approach to Career Support. 

• Reflect on students and graduates strengths and interests
• Prepare students for interviews (including resume building)
• Explore career options
• Develop skills experiences
• Connect with opportunities

• Coaches are academic and career advisors. They help students identify their challenges, refine their study skills, and improve their performance.
• From our first conversation with you, we are getting to know you, your situation, and your working style to match you with a supportive coach who sticks with you through your entire college journey. 
• Students meet with their coach weekly to focus on reaching both academic and personal goals.

• Gateway U is not a university. We're proud to offer access to Southern New Hampshire University’s competency-based education programs, combined with our wraparound support services. 
• Our students graduate from SNHU with an accredited associate or bachelor’s degree in their chosen field. 
• Southern New Hampshire University (or SNHU) is a private, nonprofit university established in 1932 with more than 3,000 on-campus students, over 150,000 online learners and an alumni network of over 150,000, making it one of the fastest growing universities in the nation.
• Our university partner SNHU is regionally accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE). Regional accreditation is the highest form of accreditation, and credits earned through regionally accredited programs are the most likely to transfer.

• Model combines online college degrees from an accredited and non-profit University with in-person support aimed at helping students succeed. 
• Each student is assigned a personal Coach.
• Access to resources and supports: transportation, technology support, child care support, career development opportunities, etc.
• Self-paced and low cost so you can earn a degree around your schedule with little to no student debt upon completion.

Each institution has its own rules about credit transferability, and so we can't 100% guarantee that the credits you earn in the program will transfer fully to a future institution of your choice.

• If you’ve earned 60 or more credits from an accredited institution — or if you’ve earned an accredited AA or AS — you will likely be eligible to begin your studies directly with SNHU’s BA program (skipping the AA and significantly reducing your time to degree). 
• If you have under 60 transferable credits, you have the option to have a course-by-course evaluation, and may be eligible to transfer credits to the “associate’s degree track”.
