Students ‘Branch Out’ to Explore STEM Courses during January Term (J-Term)
Trinity College’s January Term offers students the opportunity to focus intensively on subjects of their choosing—including offerings in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). J-Term allows Trinity students to enroll in one half-credit course during a two-week term. Julia Bekanich, coordinator for health professions and lecturer in Trinity’s Health Fellows Program, said that students may use J-Term as a time to explore interests outside of their majors. “Students who may not have the flexibility in their schedules during the semesters—because their majors have specific requirements—find that they are able to branch out during J-Term and try something new in STEM,” she said.
