Drew University Students to Visit Ireland During January Term

Drew University’s January semester term will feature a PeaceBuilders travel course to Ireland, where students will visit Dublin, Derry and other Irish towns and cities.

Students who are looking to finish a general education requirement, pay reduced tuition, and take a course that will be completed in under a month can take courses at Drew during the University’s JanTerm, an annual winter program that offers Drew students and others a chance to take courses on an accelerated schedule during the month of January.

This year’s JanTerm begins on Jan. 5, and ends on Jan. 23. Courses range from 1 to 4 credits in a variety of departments, including physics, political science, history, English, and philosophy.

One of the courses offered in this year’s JanTerm is a PeaceBuilders travel course to Ireland titled “Transatlantic Connections and Peace Studies: Ireland’s History of Conflict and Conflict Resolution.”

While in Ireland, students will take part in a tour led by Drew faculty where they will study Irish history first hand, including the conflict in Northern Ireland and the peace process. Students will be based in Donegal, but visit Dublin, Derry, and other towns and cities.

For those looking to stay closer to home, the upcoming JanTerm will offer a creative writing workshop, a choral music intensive class, and a provocative philosophy course titled “The Meaning of Life,” among other selections.
