The Sea Education
Association (SEA) in Woods Hole, MA provides undergraduates
with an opportunity to participate in an academic study-abroad
program called the SEA Semester. The program combines intensive
research in the areas of oceanography, maritime studies, and
nautical science with hands-on experience aboard a traditional
sailing ship. Piloting, celestial navigation, and practical
seamanship are learned together with oceanographic sampling
techniques and marine laboratory procedures. Critical thinking,
problem-solving, team-building and leadership skills are emphasized
throughout the program. SEA Semester is appropriate for students
in marine biology, geology and physical science, environmental
studies, American studies, and most other areas within the
liberal arts and sciences. Academic credit for SEA Semester
is obtained through Boston University. |
