To most of its [[#alumni|alums]], the most awesome [[study abroad|study-away]] semester program ever. Involves going down to Mystic, Connecticut, living in houses of 4-6 7 people from various liberal arts colleges, where you cook cooking (and sometimes maybe even cleancleaning) for yourself, across from a museum with three tall ships and several hundred smaller ones. Also involves a 10-day trip on a 133-foot tall ship, a week-long trip to California or Washington Statethe West Coast, and a 4-day trip to Louisiana or the Chesapeake Bay. Also copious time spent doing individual research in a marsh, river, beach, rocky intertidal zone, or whatever coastal environment you prefer. And The other three major research papers will have you calling fishery commissions (policy), reading Melville's non-Moby Dick-sized maritime stories (literature), and learning about marine policyturning the pages of a 200-year-old ship's log with gloved hands in the museum collections (history). All Super-interdisciplinary, all with amazingly always-there-for-you professors. Super-interdisciplinary.
