Pace University has announced its January Intersession, a four-week academic session taking place between the fall and spring semesters. The program allows students to earn up to four credits during the winter break, with most courses offered fully online and on a flexible schedule.
According to the university, registration for the January Intersession opened on October 27, 2025. Classes are set to begin on January 5, 2026. In-person and hybrid courses will conclude by January 17, while fully online courses will end on January 31.
The intersession offers a variety of classes across disciplines. Students can choose from subjects such as Digital Design, Creative Writing, American Sign Language, Psychology of Cultural Diversity, Meteorology, Cinema Auteurs of New York City, Intro to Psychology, World Civilization, Microeconomics, Criminal Justice, Communication, Art History, and Organizational Development and Human Learning for graduate students.
A statement from Pace University reads: “No matter what you choose, January Intersession helps you lighten your spring load, stay on track to graduate on time (or early), and dip into subjects you’re genuinely excited about. It’s flexible, low-pressure, and built to give you a little extra breathing room—academically and in life. Cozy vibes + real progress = a win.”
The university emphasizes that the intersession is designed to help students maintain academic momentum without disrupting their winter break routines.
