The document describes Boston Architectural College's Gateway Program, which aims to provide students with real world work experience through internships. It compares BAC's practice-based curriculum, which incorporates 7 years of work experience, to a more traditional curriculum with less emphasis on work experience. The Gateway Program places students in 10+ week internships on real projects with clients, providing experience working with professionals and facing real constraints that one would not get through hypothetical school projects. It discusses the benefits of collaboration between the Gateway partners: BAC, Tsoi/Kobus Architects, and the Community Innovation Center.
