For Current Students

Our on-campus offerings include full and partial-unit courses, both lower and upper-division to meet your individual academic needs.

Most full-unit courses meet M/Tu/Th/F usually for 2 hrs and 30 mins, while our partial-unit courses meet one day a week for 2 to 4 hours, depending on the course. 

Jan Term's classes are as incredibly diverse as the Bay Area itself. Explore the connections between music and social change or try your hand at stand-up comedy! Want to learn the ins & outs of writing a romance novel or try your hand at ceramics? Jan Term gives you the opportunity to try something completely new!

We want all students to have the opportunity to travel before they graduate! Students have the choice of domestic and international travel courses in January. 

Our course offerings are dependent on the faculty who create and propose them. Some like Engaging Christian Art in France and Italy or Globalized Mexico are favorites year after year, while others like The Netherlands: A Land Shaped by Water is completely new!

Each travel course carries an additional travel fee that covers transportation, lodging, meals, and admission fees. 

The Jan Term Scholarship makes travel possible for many of our students, covering 75% of the course fee.

We have found that the flexibility of online and hybrid courses lightens the load for many students. These courses cut down on commutes and allow students to be where they need to be!

Jan Term is committed to offering the best possible course structure. Faculty aren't simply shifting in-person classes to Zoom, but are paying attention to how they mold their course together with the unique model of distance learning.

With hybrid courses, make sure to connect with the professor to confirm the dates when you will need to be on campus.
