Academics > Internships > Short Term


If you think winter is for hibernation, you’ll change your mind when you take a close look at our January Short Term. J-Term provides you with the unique opportunity to test drive a career with an internship, take a travel/study course, or sign up for an engaging seminar (pass/fail, so you can safely explore outside your major).

Internships Galore
Begun in 1968, the January Short Term was originally designed to give students a full-month of on-the-job experience and test career interests. Today, Hollins students intern everywhere from law offices to Capitol Hill, from their hometown newspaper to Fortune magazine, from a doctor’s office to the Centers for Disease Control.

See the World
But there’s more. Many students opt to spend the month in a travel/study course. In January 2010, students are traveling to a variety of countries, including France, Germany, Mexico, and Spain. Students can also be part of a touring theatre production for children, or learn what it's like to be behind the scenes of an art museum.
