About this organization
Mission
Winner of the 2016 National Science Board Public Service Award, sea educates and inspires ocean scholars, stewards, and leaders. Sea offers high school and undergraduate students an adventure with a purpose, combining academic studies on shore with hands-on, field-based learning at sea aboard tall ship research vessels.
About
155 undergraduates participated in sea semester programs: Boston University accredited study abroad programs focused on the ocean environment. Sea semester students enrolled from 81 different colleges and universities. Over 69% received some form of financial assistance from sea. Students began their studies on our campus in Woods Hole, Massachusetts and then joined one of our two 134-foot sail training vessels for a sailing research experience in the Atlantic, Pacific, or Caribbean. While at sea, students acted as full members of the sailing crew and scientific team, operating all aspects of the vessel while completing self-designed research projects in a variety of topics.
