Ocean Classroom Foundation's SEAmester™ is a challenging and rewarding college semester at sea. For over thirty years, each spring and fall 21 students are immersed in the traditions of the sea, working with the ship's professional crew to learn the time-honored arts and skills of a seafarer. Students earn 12 college credits in marine science, navigation science, and the humanities from the University of Maine. All coursework is related to the sea and to the cultures and the natural environments visited throughout the voyage. The campus ranges from coral reefs on the flanks of tropical volcanic islands, to Spanish colonial forts that have held back invaders for 500 years, to North Carolina salt marshes. In SEAmester students have the opportunity to not only study the ocean world, but to live it.

The voyage will sail over 3,000 miles in just over ten weeks, stopping at carefully selected ports of call to correspond with the curriculum on the ship. Ports may include: Bahamas; Dominican Republic; Puerto Rico; Virgin Islands; Antigua; Dominica; Grenadines; Trinidad and Tobago; Cumberland Island, GA; Beaufort, NC; Chesapeake Bay; Mystic, CT; New Bedford, MA; Provincetown, MA.

No prior sailing experience necessary.

You will also benefit from our caring staff, who plan activities and offer resources to help you maximize your time abroad. And because of Madrid's central location, you can easily explore other Spanish cities and regions on one of our many group excursions.
