With some of the most prestigious universities in America urging
students to defer admissions so they can experience the world, the
idea of the gap year has taken hold in America. Since its
development in Britain nearly fifty years ago, taking time off
between secondary school and college has allowed students the
opportunity to travel, develop crucial life skills, and grow up,
all while doing volunteer work in much-needed parts of the
developing world. Until now, there has been no systematic study of
how the gap year helps students develop as young scholars and
citizens. Joseph O'Shea has produced the first empirically based
analysis of a gap year's influence on student development. He also
establishes a context for better understanding this personal
development and suggests concrete ways universities and educators
can develop effective gap year programs.
