Every year, between 300 and 500 Luther students study away during January Term (J-Term), a 3.5-week academic term in which you focus on a single course of your choosing.
If you’re looking for a short term, high-impact experience, an off-campus J-Term course is good option for you. It’s an ideal opportunity for you to take your studies beyond campus.

Travel the World
Spend your J-Term discovering new cultures and perspectives! You’ll travel and learn with fellow students and Luther faculty.
During J-Term, you can find time to study away, no matter what your major is. Choose from a slate of 12-20 J-Term travel courses taught by faculty in your major, courses that satisfy electives, or all-college requirements, such as Paideia 450.
