Your Gap Year. Your Way.
The new suite of CIEE Gap Year Abroad programs allows you to fit in a study abroad semester (or two!) in your gap year with the focus that’s right for you. Choose from 3 program models: Language & Culture, Internships, or Multi-Destination!
A gap year is the time between high school graduation and college, when students can defer their college enrollment to travel, gain new skills, pursue internship opportunities, and more. Learn more about the benefits of CIEE's unique approach.
CIEE is accredited by the Gap Year Association having demonstrated excellence in the field of gap year education and passed all required standards approved by the U.S. Department of Justice.
