From our Friends at UW-Parkside
Gateway Technical College has a “2+2” agreement with U.W.-Parkside. Students may attend Gateway for two years, and enter Parkside as a ‘true junior.’ Students who are interested may want to apply for their Picken scholarship for incoming students. The flyer (click image below) has more details. The application due date is March 20, and the competition date is April 2, 2016.
Carthage College
Our friends at Carthage College recently had their students’ work on display on campus, including the lower level of the Hedberg Library.
Carthage College (Kenosha) is one of many four-year baccalaureate institutions where Gateway Technical College Graphic Communication Students may transfer into upon finishing their AAS degree to pursue their Bachelors Degree. UW-Parkside, Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, Mount Mary, UW-Stout, and many other institutions offer pathways for Gateway Students who elect to continue onward after obtaining their Associate Degree.

Gateway Graphic Comm provides even more options.
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).
Make an appointment with a Counselor at Gateway to explore the vast number of articulation agreements on the books. UW-Parkside, Carthage College, Mount Mary College, Columbia College, and Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design are a few of the schools who have agreements with Gateway Technical College.
