TSS
The Scholar Ship

The Scholar Ship (TSS) is an oceangoing academic program aboard a passenger ship dedicated exclusively to undergraduate and postgraduate education. This academic voyage is designed to promote student development of intercultural competencies and leadership skills that will prepare students to be global citizens and to succeed professionally at home or abroad.

During the 16-week semester, students will be immersed in an intellectually engaging curriculum while being provided with opportunities to participate in numerous port programs that are designed to complement the classroom experience and enhance experiential learning.

The Scholar Ship is partnered with leading universities worldwide, through the Consortium of Academic Stewards, in the development of its intellectually robust academic program.  The University of California Berkeley is one of the program’s academic stewards.

Students interested in TSS should apply directly to The Scholar Ship. Application materials and additional information, including financial aid and relevant deadline, are located on their website. For additional inquiries about the program, students can also contact the West Coast Admissions Advisor, Belinda Yanda, at (443) 341-7409.
