Gateway Education is a tech company that offers self-paced online courses worth college credit. Gateway uses a subscription model paired with a per-course fee.
$95 per month and $79 per course
Courses are self-contained and all-inclusive, so the student doesn’t need to purchase any extra books or supplies.
Cost Strategy
Companies that use the subscription model can get expensive when it takes a student “too long” to finish a course. For that reason, a good strategy for keeping costs low is to approach each course one at a time. This allows you to focus exclusively on one course. Under this model, it is usually possible to complete 1-2 courses in a month.
At a pace of 2 courses per month, your costs would be:
- $99 monthly subscription
- $79 course 1 (3 college credits)
- $79 course 2 (3 college credits)
$257 for 6 college credits / $43 per credit
