Hartwick college

J Term is about liberal arts and experiential learning, research and collaborations, professional and academic presentations, deep and advanced study, internships, practicums, and performances.

J Term presents opportunities that most people never get--to spend concentrated time living and learning like you never have before. Have a different experience in each of your four years. Reconsider what you think; increase who you know. Shift your ideas about who you are, who you want to be.

Some details:

• You have options--lots of them.Intense on-campus courses in or outside your major. Domestic travel on and off the mainland. International travel to Eastern and Western Europe, Asia, the African continent, South and Central America. Hartwick has been offering domestic and international academic programs during J Term for 30 years. Every one a faculty-led course, internship, or directed study.
• J Term is everywhere (well, almost).Every year, close to 300 Hartwick students participate in 15-23 off-campus courses, taught by Hartwick faculty (which means you get credit and a grade). Nearly every off-campus program is open to new students; a few are First Year Seminars just for freshmen. Some--like Economics and Politics of Post-Communist Transition in Ukraine/Czech Republic--have a course prerequisite offered in the fall. All are open to majors and non-majors (exception: Transcultural Nursing in Jamaica), so you’ll be bringing along a good mix of interests and talents.
