Duke considers programs such as Semester at Sea and the Scholar Ship to be domestic programs, which means Trinity students can only transfer up to two course credits for a semester program, and Pratt students up to four. Domestic transfer credit is handled by a student's academic dean, and not the Office of Study Abroad. The rationale behind this policy is that the programs do not provide an immersion experience abroad.

For nature or eco tours go to Baracoa, Vinales, Topes de Collantes (Escambray), Granma Province (Siera Maestra Mountains) If you want to go into a resort relaxing at the beach: Varadero, Jardines del Rey (Cayo Coco, Cayo Guillermo), Guardalavaca. Maria La Gorda is best but there are many other diving areas around Cuba. Check the Water Sports Page

We have information about Sea World tickets online, and you can also visit the Sea World convention ticket ordering web site to purchase tickets ahead of the conference. Many families choose to come a few days early or stay a few days after the conference in order to spend more time at Sea World, Discovery Cove (dolphin encounter), or other theme parks in the Orlando area. The conference designates Saturday as park day at Sea World, and we encourage everyone to join us.

Not really. Even though the international drinking age is 18, I found that only a small group of students (say about 20%) regularly partied it up on the ship. Unfortunately, that 20% is probably the most visible group and so it seems like more. Every voyage is different, but that's my story.

Completed the journal work as explained above and obtained at least 'Fair' grade in each of the courses, and The Institute monitors your progress continuously. On completion of your assessment of each semester, the Institute will authorise you to continue with the next semester... However this would require some planning on your part. You have to pay the fees for the next semester and collect the courseware before you go on board.

Where you go" is entirely up to you. A vacation with Vega is customized to meet your desires! After you have had a chance to settle in, your Captain will sit down with you and develop an itinerary based on your interests and preferences. Of course, you have the luxury of leaving it all up to your Captain and crew - their local knowledge and experience insure you a relaxed and safe charter.

The Minoan palaces: don't miss the fact that you are in the cradle of Europe. Knossos is not necessarily the best Minoan palace but certainly the most crowded Heraklion Archaeological Museum has the best collection of Minoan art in the world. If you can go when it is quiet it is definitely worth a visit.

Yes, we can visit an area that is on the UNESCO World Heritage List , for example on a daytrip from Amsterdam.

We strongly recommend that all children under the age of 14 years be accompanied by an adult who shall be solely responsible for their care and conduct whilst on these premises.

Stories and books have grown directly out of places that I happened to visit (my first trip to the Eastern Oregon desert led straight to The Tombs of Atuan.) If there is science in a science-fiction story I'm writing and I need to check my facts, I do. But most of my research is into the geography of my own imagination, where Earthsea, and Gethen, and Orsinia, and all my other subworlds are.

We invite you to visit the Music Center in downtown Los Angeles. For more information please visit their website at .www.musiccenter.org

Known as the "Oxford of the East", Pune is a fascinating city, home to the highest number of educational institutions in India, culturally rich and in close proximity to a couple of hill stations. The most popular hill station around Pune is Mahableshwar, only 120 kms from Pune. You'll welcome the cool respite, enjoy the pleasant walks, boating on the beautiful Venna Lake and the stunning views from its many viewpoints.

If I enjoyed my first visit to a place, I found that returning is never quite the same. The exception is cities, like London and Berlin, where theater experiences always bring me back.

Participants will visit Mumbai, Kolhapur, Goa, Ernakulam, Kanyakumari, Trivandrum, Delhi, Agra, Mathura, Vrindavan, Haridwar, Rishikesh, Uttarkashi, and Siddhabari.

Our philosophy is that as well as taking you to the places you have heard of, like The world famous Giants Causeway and Loch Ness, we will also take you to as many 'off the beaten track' places, that you couldn't reach by public transport or never find on your own. Since we have smaller groups there is more flexibility. So if it’s a nice day and you want to take a wee detour to go swimming in a waterfall then we can do that!

We tend to concentrate on the bar, cocktail lounge, restaurant and club market. Definition of a bar? Something more than just a pub: either because of the decor, clientele, reputation and yes - price. We don't do real ale, student dives or dominos pizza and we'll try not to bore you with long lists of fancy sounding dishes or wines.

Not for the reviews you see here on this site, no. We are happy for venues or sponsors to invite us along, or to tell us about themselves, but we'll always give an independant review on this site.

Most international travelers will arrive in and depart from Spain via Madrid, so it will be an easy place to spend a few extra days. Barcelona is twice as far from Andalucia as Madrid, and harder to get to - but famous for its architecture and a new gay hotel. On the other hand, if you are ready for a beach experience after a week of riding through the hills of Andalucia, the nearby Costa del Sol beckons, not far away. The Andalucia website offers many great suggestions.

That really depends on your interests. If you're interested in Mayan history, you should definitely visit Tikal and maybe also Copán, Honduras. Lake Atitlan is also a favorite with many visitors since it's considered one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. There are many other interesting places in Guatemala and we'll be happy to discuss them with you; just send us an email or ask us when you are in Antigua.

During the shore component, it’s typically 8:1. At sea, the captain and chief scientist are supported by three assistant scientists, three mates, an engineer, a steward, and occasional alumni deckhands. The student:faculty ratio at sea is less than 3:1. Apart from the obvious geographical ones, there are probably more similarities than differences. All cruise tracks take advantage of the most favorable sailing conditions in each region, so weather is not very different at all.

NO. You must make a semester-long commitment to one DC Reads program. You may switch to a different program at the beginning of the following semester.
