Individualized Technical Studies | Gateway Technical College

Students interested in pursuing an Individualized Technical Studies degree will submit a portfolio as part of the application process, including identification of an occupational mentor.
Students will also submit a statement of need and career goals. Then work with their industry mentor and academic advisor to create an academic plan consisting of relevant technical studies courses from no more than two academic programs and general education courses.
The student portfolio, together with a completed application for admission, becomes part of the review process used by the Gateway Individualized Technical Studies committee to admit the student for a customized technical studies program. Students should not begin taking coursework until officially accepted into the Individualized Technical Studies program.
