The program creates a series of degree pathways that begin with enrollment at Gateway and end with a bachelor's degree from NKU. Gateway2NKU establishes a seamless transition between the institutions assisted by personally assigned advisors. The program also features dual admission in which participating students are enrolled simultaneously at NKU and Gateway, providing access to all student activities and services at both institutions.

Program Benefits:

  • A seamless roadmap through an GCTC associate degree to an NKU bachelor's degree
  • Access to educational resources and events at both institutions
  • Access to resources such as health services, athletics, campus intramural sports and Greek Life
  • Guaranteed acceptance at NKU with junior standing
  • Ability to take up to four courses at NKU that count towards requirements for associate degree
    and pay Gateway's tuition rate
