With many articulation agreements, Gateway Graphic Comm Students have more options than ever. Students can achieve their AA Degree and enter the world of work, or continue their education at a four-year institution (many of the agreements allow students to enter as junior-level students).
Some may additionally enter the world of work with an employer who may help them finance their BA/ BFA (some larger local employers offer partial tuition reimbursement).
