Semester at Sea (SAS) is a one-of-a-kind global education program that allows students to earn college credits while traveling to multiple countries aboard a ship, combining rigorous academics with immersive cultural experiences. With guidance from Sagar Consultants, students can explore the world while gaining a truly transformative education.
Semester at Sea (SAS) is a pioneering international study abroad program that offers students the extraordinary opportunity to study while traveling across the globe. Launched in 1963, the program is designed to provide a multicultural, experiential education that blends classroom learning with real-world cultural immersion.
Participants live and learn aboard a fully equipped floating campus, where they take courses in global studies, political science, international business, environmental sustainability, marine science, and intercultural communication, among other disciplines. Each voyage typically visits 10–12 countries across multiple continents, giving students direct exposure to diverse cultures, languages, histories, and social systems.
Beyond academics, SAS emphasizes leadership development, personal growth, and global citizenship. Students engage in hands-on fieldwork, community service projects, internships, and cultural excursions in the countries they visit, allowing them to apply classroom knowledge in real-world contexts. The program fosters adaptability, cross-cultural communication, and problem-solving skills that prepare students for global careers.
The program is open to students from universities around the world, offering flexible course options that can transfer credit back to their home institutions. The ship serves as a unique learning community, creating lifelong friendships and networking opportunities with peers from diverse backgrounds.
Through Sagar Consultants, students receive comprehensive support, including guidance on program selection, application assistance, visa and travel documentation, pre-departure preparation, and ongoing support during the journey, ensuring a smooth and enriching experience.
Semester at Sea is ideal for students seeking a transformative education, adventure, and a truly global perspective that goes beyond traditional classroom learning.
