Program Results

We are proud of the academic achievements of our students. To ensure quality instruction is maintained and program progression is occurring at the necessary rate, the International Gateway program researches the academic progression of its students through the first year and beyond. Performance data on IELTS and TOEFL iBT, matriculation rates, first-year retention rates, completion rates and GPAs are collected and analyzed each year. The data has been published in research papers and presented at conferences.
