Courses

As a student studying onboard with Semester at Sea, you may select from a broad range of courses in the areas of business, education, humanities, and the sciences to name a few. All students are required to enroll in one section of Global Studies during the Voyage. Classes are held while onboard the ship when the ship is sailing. Once at port, depending on the courses you have selected, you will participate in Faculty Directed Practica, studying in country.   

To learn what is offered, students can view the Course Listing for each Voyage. Students can earn 12-15 credits. To see which courses are being offered, go to Semester at Sea's website and select the voyage you are interested in.

UW-Eau Claire Equivalencies

To find courses that have been evaluated, go to the Transfer Wizard site by clicking here. 

• Choose United States, then Colorado, then click "Search"
• Click on  Colorado State University
• Click "Search" again. All courses that have been evaluated for UWEC credit will appear. 

If the course does not appear on the transfer wizard, it has not yet been evaluated for UWEC credit. 

Please remember that the transfer wizard is a historical record. There is NO guarantee that the same courses will be offered in the future or that they will be offered during the term in which you will be abroad. It is very important to use the current Semester at Sea site along with the transfer wizard. Using only the transfer wizard may result in inaccurate course knowledge.
