Since 1976, each fall and spring, Southampton Graduate Campus has offered
the SEAmester Program. This popular
and intensive program provides
23 students with the unique opportunity not only to study the ocean
environment, but also to live it. Students earn from 12 to 16 academic
credits, spanning the humanities and sciences, while undertaking the
responsibility of crewing a large gaff-rigged schooner, the Spirit
of Massachusetts or the Harvey Gamage.
SEAmester East students sail almost 3,000 miles in nine weeks, stopping
at carefully selected ports of call, from the eastern seacoast of
the United States to island outposts in the Bahamas and Caribbean
Island. One day the campus will be a tropical lagoon, the next day
the ruins of a sugar mill, later a Carolina mud flat or a wall 100
feet below the Gulf Stream. Fieldwork includes studies on the finest
reefs in the Caribbean to the mud flats of North Carolina.

Any student who has completed at least one year of college and
carries a cumulative average of 2.5 or better is eligible for this
extraordinary experience. The cost of SEAmester is comparable to
a semester on campus, and most financial aid is applicable.
