Semester at Sea (SaS) is a study-abroad program founded in 1963 and managed by the Institute for Shipboard Education (ISE)[1] in Fort Collins, Colorado. Colorado State University is the current academic sponsor[1] and the program is conducted on a cruise ship. Nearly 73,000 undergraduate students[2] from over 1,500 colleges and universities have participated in Semester at Sea.
During the spring and fall semesters, up to 600 undergraduates[3] participate in the 100- to 110-day program. During the semester the ship circumnavigates the globe, traveling from North America east (across the Atlantic) or west (across the Pacific) and visiting 10 to 11 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, South America, and North America.[4] Although the program had voyages through the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal, piracy concerns in the Gulf of Aden have changed a typical voyage to around Africa.
