Thinking of Taking a Gap Year?

Street Post with Signs for each General Education Class

Congratulations H.S. Graduates!

Picture of High School Graduate from public pageYou rocked high school! You should be heading to your college dorm but if a gap year feels right, use it to your advantage. Take some Gen Eds!

In these uncertain times, it’s totally understandable that you don’t want to pay a small fortune to virtually attend an away college.  You can’t spend your Gap year traveling or experiencing an amazing internship, so use that time to further your future.

The Benefits of Taking a Few Gen Eds

The danger of a Gap year is that you could potentially lose your motivation, even some of the knowledge that you spent all those high school years accruing.

At SUNY Ulster we offer all the necessary general education courses to begin your college career at an extremely affordable price. You can take just one to keep yourself sharp or you can take multiples and really get a head start on your future for a lot less than you would pay for the same classes at a four-year institution.  if you’re not sure what you what major you want to pursue, you may even find, through completing your Gen Eds, that you find your passion.
