Improving Retention from Inside Gateway Courses—Without Changing the Curriculum

Gateway courses are supposed to build momentum for students. But for many, they become a roadblock.

Faculty feel the pressure. Deans see the numbers.

Large classes, overloaded content, and limited support leave instructors stretched thin—and students without the help they need to succeed. The result? High DFWI rates and lower retention.

We’ve been working with business schools to bridge that gap—with a solution that supports students inside the course, not around it. And it fits without disrupting what already works.

Here’s how:

• Immersive, course-aligned simulations that bring learning to life—in just 15 minutes

• Integrated, real-time support to help students stay on track as they learn

• Actionable data that faculty and administrators can actually use

It’s not about adding more. It’s about enhancing what's already there.

Watch our 30-minute session to learn:

• Why gateway courses continue to drive DFWI rates—and where traditional interventions fall short

• How we’re building a scalable solution to improve student success without changing your curriculum

• What early adopters are seeing—and how you can get early access
