One Month that Can Change Your Life
Your curiosity is a priority at Austin College
That’s why we give you three weeks every January to focus on one class. Immerse yourself into unique opportunities that allow you to travel abroad, explore real-world careers, and stretch your talents in focused courses on campus.
We call it JanTerm.
Travel JanTerm Courses
The world becomes your classroom for three weeks, as you explore, immerse, and learn abroad (or within the US), with your classmates and a faculty member.
With over 99 countries visited and an eclectic course selection awaits.
On-Campus JanTerm Courses
Join your classmates for one-of-a-kind courses like:
- using science to bust myths,
- learning the craft and chemistry of wine-making,
- exploring East Asian cuisine, prairie restoration,
- 3-D game design.
Internships
JanTerm is a perfect time to learn about and evaluate your future career opportunities and receive an academic credit with our Career Study off Campus (CSOC) program. Leverage the three weeks to test drive the world of finance, shadow a physician, or any other career fields that interest you.
""By far the most impactful experience was this huge hike up to this beautiful look out spot. In some ways, [it] allowed me to meet a new friend: the part of me that fearlessly believes in my ability to do challenging things."
