D24 applied to and got accepted to Austin College. We’re going on another visit in a couple of weeks. This past week, D24 got some mail from them with a list of all of their “JanTerm” courses…a 3-week class in January, where you take ONLY that class. Freshmen must take an on-campus class. Sophomores on up can choose a travel course instead if they want (extra cost associated with this option). The other 2 LACs that D24 applied to have 3-week January terms like this.
I’m sharing the list here in case anybody finds it helpful or interesting.
