Choose how long you want to travel. With Year, Semester, and Short-Term programs, there's an EF Gap experience for everyone.
The gap year is not an alternative to college. It’s about preparing yourself to make the most of college—and in many ways, the rest of your life. Our innovative experiential learning model helps students discover their goals, while equipping them with the confidence and skills to get there.
When you travel with EF Education First, you travel with a global organization that has been in operation since 1965. EF’s mission has always been to open the world through education, and we’ve delivered on that promise for millions of students.
Taking a gap year before or during college is an incredibly worthwhile experience. It can also be a complex decision. We strongly recommend speaking with someone on our admissions team as you determine which program or destinations are right for you.
Our gap year students are on the road and their incredible gap experiences are underway. Follow us on Instagram @efgapyear to see the adventure through their eyes!
