Each GATE Program is instructed by MSU professors. GATE works with award winning professors from the Department of Romance and Classical Languages, the Department of Mathematics, the Department of English and many more. Many courses have support assistance from area high school teachers working within their area of accrediation. Student attend class followed by lab work using MSU facilities. All curriculum content offered goes far beyond the student's school curriculum. Professors consistently hold students to a high level of academic accountability while offering academic support to provide students with the tools they need to succeed.

Each GATE residential program is assigned to a MSU dormitory located close to classes. Students in the High Achievers program will reside in the newest residential college, The Residential College in the Arts and Humanities.
