Gap Year Programs
Gain professional experience, build skills and explore your interests for one to two years after graduation.
These programs emphasize exposure to meaningful and different types of work before pursuing career-related employment or graduate school. They can range from U.S. to international experiences and tend to include a training period before the program.
