Global Education

Bring your education well beyond the classroom with Global Experiences at Hartwick! Global learning integrates academics, cultural education and hands-on opportunities to give you a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Our Signature Programs

To learn how to live a well-balanced life, you should first take on new challenges, discover what you do and don't like, and broaden your worldview. There's no better way to do that than with a global learning experience.

J Term Courses

Every January term (popularly known as J Term) Hartwick faculty take small groups of students to off-campus study destinations within the U.S. or to international destinations where they spend time as a class studying at fascinating locations.

J Term

Offered in between the fall and spring semesters, January Term (J Term) faculty-led travel courses are a unique Hartwick opportunity, with generous scholarships available to help you pay for the experience. For example, study nursing in Scotland, economics and biology in Portugal, public health in Micronesia or geology in Hawaii!

Go Abroad

The best way to understand how our intercultural world works is to experience other cultures face-to-face. At Hartwick, you have opportunities to get out of the classroom and do exactly that.
