“The professors at Hartwick are genuinely interested in what they teach, which in turn makes me passionate about the subject. All the professors are deeply invested in ensuring their students grasp the information so that they can use it in real-life scenarios.”

“As a faculty, we have years of experience working in these countries and are fluent in the systems, not just the language. Often we travel there for our own research so we are excellent resources to our students. We provide context for meaningful exploration.”

“Study abroad is a way to make history become real. Being in the places where history happened allows students to make personal connections. The learning is powerful and immediate when you’re there, on site. It provokes a lot of questions that don’t come from reading a book. J Term engages students in learning that resonates with their lives. It allows them to immerse themselves in the process of discovery.”

“Studying the liberal arts mattered for me. It cultivates good writing and critical thinking skills and offers perspective. “

“One of the great things about Hartwick is that the professors encourage discussion and critical thought. It makes you recognize that there are different ways of thinking, other ways of approaching an issue. I’m carrying that forth into my career.”
