BE BOLD.
JANUARY TERM IS ONLY AS CREATIVE & DIVERSE AS ITS INSTRUCTORS.
Every year, faculty, adjuncts, staff, and community members use the unconventional space of Jan Term as a place for experimentation in both subject matter and technique. By creating unique course proposals, they have the opportunity to dive deep into their passions and expertise and pass that fascination on to our undergraduate students.
This is why Jan Term lives not only outside of the regular academic year but of the academic department as well. It frees both students and faculty members to explore topics in greater detail than is possible within the constraints of a regular semester.
DARE TO EXPLORE.

Program Mission & Goals
During Jan Term, students will engage with topics beyond their major, minor, or other Core requirements, as well as develop skills related to life-long learning. They will accomplish this by independently selecting courses based on their interests and curiosities and by engaging in intense, focused inquiry and a commitment to personal and intellectual growth.
