SEA Education Association (SEA)The SEA Education Association offers college students a semester overseas that challenges them intellectually and physically by combining study of the deep ocean with the sailing adventure of a lifetime.
SEA students come from around the world and from majors ranging from environmental science to philosophy. They go to sea onboard our ships as mariners, as scientists working to understand the environment, and as scholars seeking to understand the experience of seafaring. Speaking to these roles, the academic program at SEA Education Association is organized into three disciplines:
* Oceanography provides students with the scientific foundation needed to use the equipment and instruments onboard the ship to investigate the planet's oceans.
* Nautical Science provides students with the practical skills to safely operate a tall ship in high seas.
* Maritime Studies provides students a wider historical and social perspective on the experience of going to sea.
Together, these components of the SEA Education Association curriculum give students a comprehensive understanding of the world's oceans and our relationship to students and prepare them for their SEA adventure.
