Gateway to College

MCC’s Gateway to College program is a nationally recognized model of a high school diploma completion program for high school dropouts or students who are behind in credits and on the verge of dropping out of school. Gateway to College provides students who have not been successful in the traditional high school environment with the opportunity for a fresh start on a college campus. Students ages 16–20 who are ready to re-engage in education are given the opportunity to return to school to complete their high school diploma on a college campus while earning dual credit for coursework. The program is designed for student success, beginning with the small size of the first-quarter learning community and a student resource specialist assigned to each student. Students interested in this scholarship program participate in a competitive application and admissions process.
