Hi ----,
If you’re looking for an adventurous semester, want to grow as a person and
build confidence that lasts a lifetime, then UMass Dartmouth’s new SEAmester
Program is the next exciting opportunity for you.
Beginning this fall, the SEAmester Program provides 23 students with the unique
opportunity to study the marine environment, while immersed in nautical
traditions. Students earn from 12-15 academic credits enrolled in courses in the
humanities and sciences, while they work with the ships’ crew to undertake the
responsibility of crewing a large traditionally rigged wooden schooner, the
Spirit of Massachusetts. No prior sailing experience is necessary.
To help cover some of your costs, NSCS and the UMass Dartmouth SEAmester Program
are offering the NSCS-UMass Dartmouth SEAmester $10,000 Scholarship. To apply
for the scholarship, please visit:
http://www.nscs.org/memberbenefits/scholarshipopportunities/seamester.cfm.
The voyage will sail over 3000 miles in nine weeks, stopping at carefully
selected ports of call throughout the Caribbean, the Bahamas, and the east coast
of the U.S. The campus ranges from coral reefs on the flanks of tropical
volcanic islands, to Spanish colonial forts that have held back invaders for 500
years, to North Carolina salt marshes.
All academic coursework is related to the sea and to the cultures and the
natural environments visited throughout the voyage. Eligibility to participate
in this program is based on completion of one year of undergraduate education
with at least a 2.5 GPA.
