Doing anything from January 4 – 22, 2010?
Didn’t think so. Instead of spending a few extra days lounging around at home, try something new this year — maybe sailing in the Virgin Islands, checking out Fort Knox, learning to use an electron microscope or watching movies and listening to rock-and-roll.
The point? You can have fun and earn credit all at the same time with a winter term class at KWC. (Plus, the price is half off. Seriously.)
We’ve rearranged the academic calendar to make time for a winter term that will offer unique classes you might not otherwise get to take. Where else can you learn about the neurobiology of music, eschatology (look it up), parenting or the ethics of war? And, you have more credits than you would without a winter term class.
