A Gettysburg education empowers our students for a lifetime of purposeful success. It is the surest path to creating the type of intellectual power the world and workforce needs. Nothing underscores this strength more than the work of our alumni. After graduation, they find personal and professional distinction in every industry imaginable.
We prepare students to be critical thinkers, engaged citizens, and lifelong learners who can impact positive change.

Internships and more
We work with every student, from their first year to their senior year, to connect their experiences with a personalized career plan.
An important step in this process is connecting our students with internship, externship, and job shadowing opportunities. Students can apply what they are learning in the classroom to real-life situations and discover new ways to achieve the unexpected.
