Gap Year Programs

Gap Year Programs

A gap year program is designed to give students the opportunity to gain professional experience, build skills, and explore their 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 prior to the program.

Below is a listing of Gap Year Programs and Post-Graduate Fellowships. Visit the website for current information. Additional post-graduate programs with upcoming deadlines are also available in Handshake.
