Seamester is the educational adventure of a lifetime! For more than 40 years, we have offered unparalleled educational voyages where students spend a semester at sea sailing between islands, countries, and even continents. We design our programs to provide engaging learning experiences with real outcomes in ways that are impossible to replicate in the traditional classroom. Living as part of a close-knit team on an ocean-going vessel, our students learn fundamental lessons beyond academics: teamwork, leadership, and personal responsibility. They receive academic credit from the University of South Florida, along with PADI scuba certifications and IYT sailing certifications. Our programs are designed to inspire students to realize that it’s the journey, not the destination, that matters the most.

Earth Expeditions (EE) are Miami University study abroad courses designed for people looking for inspiring professional development opportunities while earning graduate credit. All courses engage with grassroots conservation and sustainability programs making a difference in Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas. Our planned 2026 EE sites are the Amazon, Australia, Baja, Belize, Borneo, Brazil, Costa Rica, Galápagos, India, Kenya, Mongolia, Namibia, Paraguay, and Thailand. Awarding seven graduate credit hours (5 credits for the Summer Term + 2 credits for the Fall Semester), EE courses are hybrid and combine direct global study experiences with engagement in a web-based online learning community. Summer field courses typically run from mid-May through mid-August, with pre-course work beginning in April. The international field “in-country” portion of each class generally lasts 9-10 days. The 2-credit-hour follow-on fall semester course, “Inquiry & Action,” is entirely online and typically runs from late August to mid-December. This component is optional for students taking an EE course for stand-alone graduate credit outside the master’s program.

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Malaysia
Locations
There are three main locations for studying abroad in Malaysia. Each of these locations have distinct qualities and allow for diverse experiences:
Johor Bahru. If you’re looking to learn about the environment or development, this city is an excellent choice. Right across the border from Singapore, this city used to be a small fishing village but now is focused on the tourism industry.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital, is a sprawl of bright lights and urban opportunity. Many people throughout Malaysia look to it as the land of opportunity because there are many educational and employment possibilities in Kuala Lumpur. The city is filled with the typical characteristics of Asian cosmopolitan life, from large shopping malls, to nightlife, to delicious Asian cuisine.
Borneo. With incredibly diverse ecology and animal life, study abroad programs in Borneo will most likely take you outside the classroom and into your natural surroundings. Borneo’s rainforest is the oldest in the world and is the only place you can find apes in Asia (the orangutan)! This is also where you’ll find Southeast Asia’s highest peak, Mount Kinabalu.
