The College Works program intends to provide participants with business experience and the potential to earn thousands of dollars in the summer.

What's the strangest thing about living on a ship?
Six months ago, my experience with boats was limited to paddle boating in Washington, D.C.'s Tidal Basin and getting stuck on sandbars while attempting to kayak in the Outer Banks. My knowledge of Asia was similarly limited. Though I could have told you the capital of China or Japan, the chance that I could find Singapore on a map was, I'm ashamed to say, pretty slim. Yet as soon as I found out that the University would sponsor the Semester at Sea program and would be sending students to Asia during the summer, I couldn't wait to sign up. Not only would I be able to escape the prospect of a dull, two-month desk job, I would get to travel with professors who knew something about where we were going.
