Classes
The Semester at Sea program offers over 60 classes that fill nearly 90 time slots taught by professors from numerous universities. The program is not targeted towards specific majors so classes are offered in a wide range of subject areas. While at sea, students attend class every day, including weekends, with a schedule alternating between “A-Day” and “B-Day”. In addition to lectures, each class can require up to two in-port trips (FDP) lead by the respective professor(s).
I am required to take all classes as “pass/fail” which means they will only count for credit and will not affect my GPA. To avoid being a complete slacker, I tried to choose the classes that looked interesting. I am going to be taking 12 credit hours (maximum allowed is 15) as do most SAS students.
