January Term

Following the fall semester and winter break is an innovative 10 day January Term (J-Term). This special term provides students with the opportunity to dedicate themselves to a particular course or project. J-Terms allow staff and students to explore and share an area of interest in an intensive format.

The 2008 J-Term courses include:

• Acadian Folk Culture and History
• Cryptic Alchemistic Chemical Gyrations
• Designing Planetarium Shows
• Geometric Adventures
• Geometric Constructions
• Puppetry
• Telling Lies: Exploring Creative Writing
• Trip to France and Spain
• Mercury, Ecosystems, and Life: Research on Schoodic Point
• Winter Health and Fitness
• Internships

J-Term offers something of interest for everyone and is a fabulous way to explore your curiosities. J-Term's focus is usually more on the exploration of a topic and additional out-of-class work is usually not assigned.
