Interested in taking a Gap Year?

A gap year is a year off between graduating from your undergraduate studies and starting graduate school or pursuing a job. If you are considering a gap year, we encourage you to take this time to increase your professional and personal awareness. Reasons students may take a gap year include:

  • Accepting a job to earn money before graduate school
  • Still deciding and exploring options
  • Using this time to travel
  • Taking a break and recharging
  • Preparing for graduate school

USC Career Center has curated a sampling of programs and resources for taking a gap year. Some may be paused due to COVID-19. Make an appointment to discuss additional resources to plan your gap year experience.
