Floating University! Spend a Semester at Sea!

About this episode

Scott Marshall, CEO of Semester at Sea, shares what it's like to be on a ship for 3.5 months, take college-level courses, and get credit for it.


Semester at Sea has been around for 50 years.


The price for a semester (105 days), 12-15 college credits, room & board, and tuition is $25-33k (depending on the cabin).
