Trinity January Term (J-Term) Study Away programs allow students to study abroad in short, intense bursts. Programs are offered over winter break and provide students with discipline-specific global experiences that are led by trusted Trinity faculty. Students have the opportunity to live, study, volunteer, and even research abroad side-by-side their peers and professors. Trinity J-Term programs are integrated with the College’s curriculum, combining the experiential with the academic. J-Term programs strive to be culturally conscious and locally integrated, valuing minimum impact travel, and interaction with local culture. 

J-Term programs offer one .5 credit course per program and are 2 weeks in length. 

Trinity J-Term programs abroad have been suspended temporarily but we look forward to presenting some exciting options for students in 2024 so please check back periodically. 

External J-term Programs

If you are interested in studying away on an External J-Term Study Away Program below are some things to keep in mind:

  • External J-Term programs are not eligible for Trinity Financial Aid
  • Credit needs to be processed through the Registrar’s Office as transfer credit
  • Many external J-Term programs have dates that don’t align with Trinity College semester dates. Make sure you are selecting a program that allow you to return to Hartford on time for the spring semester.
  • Students must complete the J-Term Intent to Study Away – External Programs Form. This form is due December 21st.
