January Term is a special three-week academic term during which students concentrate their studies on one intensive course. Students have the opportunity to take unique courses not offered during the regular semester, fulfill needed course requirements, or participate in exciting study away courses to destinations such as Costa Rica, Berlin, Israel, Mexico, and Hawaii.
