About
Faculty
Award-winning teaching, world-class expertise, and the desire to build deep connections with students in a unique living and learning community. These are all parts of what make our faculty exceptional.
When Every Moment Is a Learning Opportunity, Teaching Takes on New Meaning.
At Semester at Sea, we attract a special kind of faculty — experts in their fields who crave the kind of immersive instructional environment that can only happen when classroom learning meets life aboard a ship and in destinations around the world. That means you will enjoy unparalleled access and connection to your professors, whether you are attending a lecture, sharing a meal, or taking part in a guided exploration of one of the 10+ countries you will visit as part of your Semester at Sea voyage.
