What is J-Term?

Each January, traditional methods of teaching and learning yield to a host of alternative approaches. The philosophy of J-Term is to provide a uniquely balanced liberal arts education. J-Term is a creative time in which faculty and students experiment, explore, and dream. During this month, students have the opportunity to:

  • Discover new subject areas
  • Reinforce and expand existing knowledge
  • Test creativity
  • Create a personalized learning situation
  • Travel or study at another college
  • Take regular term courses taught in a different format
