The Scholar Ship was a recognized academic program aboard a modified Royal Caribbean Cruises passenger ship hosting both undergraduate and postgraduate students on semester-long voyages around the world. Participants from diverse cultural backgrounds came together to create a transnational learning community designed to develop their intercultural competence. The discontinuation of the program was announced in June 2008. Programs aboard the Scholar Ship were 16 weeks in duration. One was run in 2007 and another in 2008.〔http://www.thescholarship.com/voyages/〕 Approximately 200 students from 35 countries participated in the inaugural voyage which sailed on September 5, 2007. The second voyage embarked from Hong Kong on January 2, 2008 and ended in Amsterdam, Netherlands in April 2008. ==Academic Steward Institutions== A consortium of universities contributed to the Scholar Ship's programming and were responsible for overseeing the quality of its academic offerings. Students received academic credit from Macquarie University (Australia) and hands-on experience through participation in four Port Program elements: Academic Field Programs; Community Service; Shore Excursions; and Independent Travel. The Scholar Ship's transnational learning community integrated academic, cultural, and social experiences into programs that were designed to enhance students' personal and professional development. * Al Akhawayn University (Morocco) * Cardiff University (United Kingdom) * Fudan University (China) * Macquarie University (Australia) * Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (Mexico) * University of California, Berkeley (USA) * University of Ghana (Ghana) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Scholar Ship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
