At Gateway, we understand that education abroad has grown in importance to contemporary students and recognize that providing high-quality, affordable, and accessible programming is of paramount importance to higher education institutions. Gateway has considerable experience providing leadership and support to institutions and can address a broad range of education abroad performance areas. Specific areas of expertise include the following:

  • Implementing efficiencies and best practices in faculty-directed program management
  • Developing enrollment analyses and reporting

Each year, over 5.3 million higher education students from around the world study abroad. In 2019, over 1 million international students studied in the U.S., contributing over $41 billion to the U.S. economy. Gateway recognizes the importance of recruiting the world’s best and brightest students and the diversity they bring to our campuses and communities. Gateway provides expertise in a wide range of performance areas in international student recruitment and retention, including the following:

Elevating Institutions

Gateway Solutions provides strategic assistance to institutions and organizations navigating complex international issues, bringing specific expertise in areas related to operational management, international market research and analysis, and institutional rankings and global standing.
To award academic credit for work completed off campus, most institutions require that students produce an official transcript from an accredited institution. To bridge this gap, non-accredited host organizations generally must enter into a School of Record relationship. Gateway assists with establishing and managing School of Record relationships. We support both educational organizations seeking to establish an SOR relationship and accredited institutions seeking to provide SOR services.
The international education space is complex, made only more challenging by the pandemic, the panoply of country-specific regulations, and the array of health, safety, and risk concerns abroad. Gateway International Group is distinguished by its expertise in international higher education, including its understanding of best practices in international health, safety, security and risk management issues. We understand what is needed, how to audit existing systems, troubleshoot areas of potential duty of care liability, how to frame new risk management structures, and how to secure buy-in for those systems and structures across the institutional enterprise.
Navigating the complex and evolving regulations surrounding international activity can be difficult for many institutions, potentially risking exposure to governmental fines and lawsuits. Campus offices that are generally tasked with ensuring compliance are often undertrained on the specifics of international compliance and regulation. Gateway International Group is distinguished by its expertise in understanding the broad compliance and regulatory issues shaping international engagement. We understand what is needed, how to audit existing systems, how to frame new structures, how to monitor, and how to report.

Market Research & Analysis

In an era of increasing standardization and accountability, it is strategically important that institutions be able to produce data that reinforce the importance of higher education generally and demonstrate how international education efforts specifically enhance and extend institutional missions, values, and priorities. Gateway assists institutions around the world with accurately gathering and effectively utilizing institutional and external data for long-term strategic planning and advocacy. This often includes benchmarking research, market analysis, preparing policy briefs, etc.
