A complete J-Term Catalog for the January 2023 Interim is now available, updated as of 15 November 2022, including a new course added (!) and update on space availability (with essentially all courses and trips now closed/full except for Pine Ridge/Indigenous Peoples Immersion, Geneva/Taize/Strasbourg, and the new course).

Revised 2 December 2021 to hopefully remove the confusion that MADM students are experiencing about whether MN 270W pastoral care is required of them or not.

Proposed as of 19 November 2021.  NOTE: The schedule for the MN 230W Preaching course is very much subject to change, depending on who ultimately will be the instructor(s) for the course, and their particular expectations and availability for teaching. The proposed scheduled given here presumes the chosen instructor(s) can fit into the pattern and mode of teaching that we have used in previous years, which formed the basis for this tentative spring schedule. The reality has yet to unfold on whether this presumption is correct or not. Therefore, students expecting to be in MN 230W Preaching will also need to remain flexible and be prepared for possible adjustments being necessary in the schedule that might also not appear to be ideal to your short-term liking. Best to keep your eye focused on the final goal, which is the completion of this necessary requirement in order to proceed on to such requirements as your internship and other future courses. May this disclaimer on the matter be all that needs to be said the Registrar, and hopefully instead everything works out as needed.

Revised as of 2 December 2021 (fixing the instructions on MN 270 as to who needs to take the course).

This is the updated 2022 J-Term catalog, as of 19 November 2021, with now adding an asynchronous course option, and three course options from LSTC and four from PLTS, plus a non-ELCA Hispanic Summer Program course in January. The previous most recent changes were the cancellation (postponement to 2023) of the Holy Land trip, that the Eco-justice J-Term is now Synchronous-Zoom only, with no travel to Arizona, plus updates on enrollment openings.

All offerings, but particularly all courses that involve travel, are still subject to change or cancellation between now and January 2022, pending ongoing pandemic or conditions of world conflict. Continue to monitor for updates.

Contact the named instructor for each course for further details on any of our J-Term course offerings.

As of 11 November 2020.

Draft schedules to come shortly.

Updated to 3 December 2020, 6:35 a.m.

Here is a revised/updated J-Term 2021 Catalog ("Virtual Edition") that includes enrollment limits through approximately 6:35 a.m. on the morning of Thursday, December 3. 

The following J-Term courses are NOW FULL:  Borderlands, Digital Worlds, Dismantling Racism, Islam in America, and Pine Ridge.

The only cross-cultural-eligible J-Term option left is the Un/Civil Disobedience in Hong Kong, which has plenty of room.

There is also room left in the Ecojustice and the Rural Ministry options for a few more in each. Otherwise there is room still in the few options that will meet this June or July 2021. Beyond that, you need to look to an independent study or a course from one of the other ELCA seminaries.

Further updates will be provided as additional information on course opportunities becomes known.
