Gap Year & Semester
Are you ready to step through the arch?
We provide Gap Year and Semester programs for participants eager for a growth experience and life-changing opportunities before going off to college or wherever their path may lead them next. College admissions and employers look very highly on Gap Year participants. It shows you were willing to take a road less traveled and step outside of your comfort zone at an early age.
Our programs are the perfect segway before deciding what to study in college or even where to study. Our Gap Year and Semester programs are the bridge between Arcos Journeys Abroad (our high school division) and Arcos Learning Abroad (our university division). Participants enrolled in a Gap experience will form part of our Arcos Learning Abroad college semester groups. Gap students can enroll for an academic year, a semester, or for short term dates. You can even combine session dates between different countries in order to have a broader experience. All programs provide a transcript and college credit for the coursework taken. Where will your Arcos journey take you?
