January Intersession is a quick, four-week mini–semester that lands right between fall and spring. It’s your chance to earn credits over winter break—most of it fully online and on your own schedule—so you can keep your momentum going without giving up your cozy-season vibes.
And the best part? You can use this time to explore classes you might not normally have room for. Think Digital Design, Creative Writing, American Sign Language, Psychology of Cultural Diversity, Meteorology, or even Cinema Auteurs of New York City. Want something more foundational? Try Intro to Psychology, World Civilization, or Microeconomics. Looking to get ahead in your major? There are options in Criminal Justice, Communication, Art History, and even Organizational Development and Human Learning for graduate students.

No matter what you choose, January Intersession helps you lighten your spring load, stay on track to graduate on time (or early), and dip into subjects you’re genuinely excited about.
