The Sea Education Association (SEA) creates an intriguing study-abroad experience by blending an intensive interdisciplinary course load with shipboard lab activities. Drawing most of its students from the physical sciences, SEA begins with a six-week segment in which students study issues related to oceanography and develop their own research programs. After a period of study and training, participants then board sailing ships, traveling the Caribbean or Pacific as they crew the vessels and work on their projects.
SEA provides a unique environment for research and education. Students learn about maritime history and culture as they prepare for the excursion, and the day-to-day demands of shipboard life forge strong bonds between students and faculty members. The success of the program has led to its expansion, giving students in liberal arts fields the opportunity to participate in the experiential learning program.
