Semester at Sea

Semester at Sea ''(SAS)'' is a study abroad program founded in 1963, now managed by the Institute for Shipboard Education in Charlottesville, Virginia. The University of Virginia is the current academic sponsor for the program〔 while the program itself is run on a cruise ship. Throughout the history of the program, nearly 55,000 undergraduate students〔http://www.semesteratsea.org/what-s-new-at-sas-/press-releases/sas-launches-the-c.y.-tung-program-in-sino-u.s.-relations.php〕 from more than 1,500 colleges and universities have participated in Semester at Sea.
During the spring and fall semesters, the approximately 100-day program circumnavigates the globe, with up to 720 undergraduates〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.semesteratsea.org/our-ship/ship-faq/ )〕 traveling from North America heading either east across the Atlantic or west across the Pacific, visiting from 8 to 11 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe and South America, before ending the voyage in another North American port. The program previously had voyages that would sail through the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal, but due to piracy concerns in the Gulf of Aden, voyages now typically travel around Africa.
For many years, ISE hosted a shorter 65-day Semester at Sea program in the summer that concentrated on one general region of the world. In May 2011, Semester at Sea introduced a new short-term or Maymester voyage with a curriculum focused on the UN Millennium Development Goals. These voyages lasted 26 days and offered students the opportunity to earn 4–5 transferable credits. However, following the Maymester 2012 voyage, Semester at Sea made the decision to cancel Short-Term voyages indefinitely due to low enrollment. Additionally, a two-week ''"Enrichment Voyage"'' program is held for continuing education participants during December and January. Itineraries for these voyages focus on Central America and South America, often transiting the Panama Canal or traveling up the Amazon River. ISE currently offers only Fall and Winter voyages.
== Academics ==
Students attend classes while the ship is at sea in a variety of subjects and disciplines. These classes are typically humanities classes connecting with one or more of the countries on the itinerary. All students are required to take an interdisciplinary core course;〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = https://www.ise.virginia.edu/asp/mydocuments/VoyagersHandbook.pdf )〕 When the ship is in a port, no classes are held. Students are then able to travel on Semester at Sea-sponsored trips or independently within the country. However, travel outside the country of port is strictly prohibited, resulting in dismissal from the program.
Although the University of Virginia is the academic sponsor for the program, Semester at Sea is open to students from any university. Faculty members are drawn from colleges and universities throughout the United States and around the world, including the University of Pennsylvania, George Washington University, Bucknell University, Emerson College, Yale University, University of Pittsburgh, California Lutheran University, Chapman University, Bentley University, Pennsylvania State University, Duke University, University of St. Thomas (Minnesota), Cornell University, Jacksonville University, Stanford University, University of Arizona, University of Michigan, National University of Singapore, University of Virginia, University of Colorado, University of Maine, University of Southern California, University of Connecticut, New York University and Columbia University.
Prior to arriving at a port, students receive a pre-port briefing regarding the culture and societal rules of the country they are visiting. Upon arriving at the port of call, special guest speakers, ranging from community leaders from the country to American ambassadors, give lectures to the students and faculty. The pre-port briefing as well as the guest lecture prepare students for their time in the country.
