LEARN MORE To learn more about the program, visit www.semesterat-sea.com. WHAT IS SEMESTER AT SEA? Semester at Sea is a shipboard program that enriches the lives of thousands of young people by providing a globe-circling adventure in international education. The program began in 1963 and was first known as the University of the Seven Seas and World Campus Afloat before becoming known as Semester at Sea in 1977. The University of Pittsburgh recently ended a 24-year sponsorship of Semester at Sea after concerns of safety and ship operations. In the summer 2005 voyage, a 50-foot wave hit the ship while it was carrying hundreds of college students across the Pacific. A window was broken, causing damage and leaving the ship to run on only one engine. Three crew members were injured when the wave broke through the windows. Beginning with the summer 2006 session, the University of Virginia serves as the academic sponsor of the program.
