Study abroad programs have
been around for ages. Have you ever thought about taking a
course at sea? Educational programs that take place on
cruise ships at sea are becoming popular. There are
wonderful way to learn about distant lands and cultures
while earning credit for college and sometimes even high
school.
The best-known school at sea
program is called Semester at Sea it is run by the Institute
for shipboard education through the University of Virginia.
Twice a year 1200 student's go on a voyage around the world
on the MV Explorer, this ship includes classrooms, a
computer lab, a student union, two dining rooms and
more.
But there are many more of
these opportunities at sea, some of the larger cruise lines
throughout the world have gotten on board with this idea and
now offer cruises for credit for children ages 15 through
25.
