SEA Semester has been educating and inspiring ocean scholars, stewards, and leaders with a community-based learning model since 1971. By combining academic coursework in a residential environment on shore with a hands-on sailing research voyage at sea, SEA Semester allows students to put newfound knowledge into action while facing the real consequences associated with crewing a tall ship on the open ocean.
By providing an educational environment that is problem-oriented, field-based, collaborative, and practical, SEA Semester is the ideal representation of what the Association of American Colleges & Universities (AACU) has defined as vital components of a 21st century education.
