Programs ask us to contact you themselves to share their prices and what's included, as tuition prices can change depending on which university you attend and international prices change quickly. This program will get back to you in the next 10 days.
We'll pass this standard application to the program. They can help you to continue the application process from there.

Limited to 25 students per cruise.
Understanding climate change is the predominant scientific challenge of our time, and the timely application of this knowledge to public policy is crucial to the future of the planet. This oceanography-focused semester examines how the global ocean functions in the climate system. Incorporating perspectives from the social sciences, we investigate how scientific knowledge is used in public policy. Together with SEA's experienced faculty, prominent visiting lecturers share their research and work directly with students. A 3,000-mile research cruise offers a unique opportunity to study the remote open ocean environment through directed research projects.
Shore Component - Woods Hole
During the 6-week shore component, intensive academic coursework prepares students for their research cruise. With full access to SEA faculty, distinguished guest lecturers, and the world-renowned Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution/Marine Biological Laboratory Library, students design original research projects to be completed at sea. Students also work toward establishing seamanship skills while exploring the anthropological connections to their research.
SEA Component - Equatorial Pacific
As full, working members of the scientific team and sailing crew aboard the SSV Robert C. Seamans, students deploy oceanographic sampling equipment, manage shipboard operations, navigate by the stars, and make port stops off the beaten path. They also work through the scientific method by conducting an independent research project related to climate change. Students implement their experimental design, analyze collected data, and present their findings upon completion of the sea component. Less
SEA Semester was a spectacular opportunity for me to truly learn about every aspect of the ocean. I have always loved the water and SEA Semester allowed me to really delve into studying it. The classes, sailing, experience and fun exceeded all my expectations. I would recommend it to anyone! Read more
Participating in SEA Semester was by far the greatest opportunity I have had to get close to the one place that most people can only visit--the sea! At SEA Semester, I got to push myself out of my comfort zone, do something truly different, and have a real adventure. I only wish I could do it again! Read more
SEA Semester is truly an exceptional program. You hear things like this all the time, but without question SEA Semester had a huge impact on my life. On my trip I sailed from Woods Hole, MA to St. Croix USVI, 2,903 nautical miles and it is an experience I will never forget as long as I live. The sense of accomplishment that comes from completing SEA Semester is amazing. Read more
