Its Not Too Late to Start College at Gateway This Spring
Is starting college one of your new years resolutions? You can meet that goal right
away. Gateway Community & Technical College is currently accepting students to start
classes Feb. 7 or March 18.
We have a 12-week semester starting Feb. 7 for anyone who wants to make 2013 the
year they get a fresh start on the future, said Andre Washington, Gateway dean of
enrollment services. Plus, an eight-week session starts March 18. We are accepting
students for both sessions.
With tuition of $140 per credit hour, Gateway is the affordable pathway to a high
paying career or completing the first two years of a four-year degree, Washington
added. Our credits transfer, enabling students to save 50 percent of the cost of a
four-year degree at any public university in Kentucky.
Gateway's online classes enable students to attend college anytime, anywhere. A complete
list of these classes can be downloaded at www.gateway.kctcs.edu/Academics under the Class Schedules menu.
Gateway offers a wide variety of majors that prepare students for high-wage, high-demand
jobs in currently hiring industries, such as manufacturing, information technology,
business and emerging new fields in health care. Financial aid is available, and Gateway
provides help with the application process. Classes are offered at Gateway campuses
in Covington, Edgewood and Florence and at the Urban Center in downtown Covington.
New programs available for the first time this semester include Pharmacy Technology
and Instructional Design and Learning Technology. Gateway also is offering a broader
selection of credentials in Computer and Information Technology.
In addition, a federal Health Professions Opportunity Grant offers tuition assistance
and other benefits to low-income individuals interested in pursuing certain allied
health careers. For more information on HPOG eligibility and careers, email gw-hpogemail@kctcs.edu.
We believe the quality and variety of our programs, our affordable tuition and the
success services we offer our students make us the best path to a college education
or the job market in Northern Kentucky, Washington said. But you don't have to be
a Kentucky resident to attend, and most tri-state residents can attend for our affordable
in-state tuition.
Gateway accepts students who have graduated from high school, who have earned a high
school general equivalency diploma (GED), who are eligible to pursue a GED, who want
to transfer from another college, or who are dually enrolled in high school and Gateway.
To enroll, call (859) 441-4500 or apply online at www.gateway.kctcs.edu. Full academic and admissions information is available on the website.
