Cohort Model

Gateway promotes success and readiness by grouping students into learning communities for their first term. Resources specialists work directly with their cohorts to promote a sense of guidance and community for students. After successfully completing their Foundation semester, students transition to taking classes with the general Laney student population. Resource Specialists work with students to focus on a pathway or major that aligns with the completion of credits.
