Winter programs typically depart on December 26 and return just before the start of the spring semester. They offer a great deal of flexibility for students needing to balance academics, athletics, and/or studying abroad. Scholarships and funding are very limited for winter programs which means students should expect to cover most, if not all, of the cost for the program. 

GC students may participate in winter programs with the Cooperative Center for Study Abroad (CCSA) or the Kentucky Institute for International Studies (KIIS). Be sure to check the Study Abroad home page for featured winter programs with GC faculty.

Note that while our affiliated partners offer January term (J-Term) programs, these programs do NOT typically align with our academic calendar. GC students usually may not participate in these programs.
