January Term, or J-Term, will offer our students the ability to explore curiosities and allow for some balance and time to explore things that they may be interested in learning at a deeper level.
All freshmen will have a designated Freshman J-Term that will offer a broad spectrum of experiences. No registration is required for freshmen.

Mission and Morality in Middle Earth will certainly be one J-Term to rule them all. This course will explore J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy world of Middle Earth as we watch the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and read excerpts from the original source material and other scholarly articles. We will discuss the epic narrative and journeys of the Fellowship while relating it to our own lives of faith. In particular, we will be asking ourselves questions of morality and mission highlighted in the Catholic tradition. Whether you are already a LOTR enthusiast or are just in it for the snacks, all are welcome to explore the grandeur of Middle Earth. Capacity: 24 NO COST
