Strange… yet oddly appealing — The Scholar Ship
It sounds like you pay US$20k to spend a semester travelling around on a cruise ship and studying. The universities that ‘steward’ the programme are credible ones (e.g. UC Berkley, Fudan, Cardiff). You can then do an additional semester at Macquarie University to get your Masters in International Communication.
The ship going from this September starts in Athens (Greece), then goes to Lisbon (Portugal), Panama City (Panama), Guayaquil (Ecuador), Auckland (New Zealand), Sydney (Australia), Shanghai (China), then debarks in Hong Kong.
The January voyage is different again.
You know, I wouldn’t mind lecturing at such an institution!
I take it these are all pen-book-paper-computer type classes…
(Joel, imagine doing your study on a cruise ship. Oh, and imagine you being stuck on a cruise ship.)
They’re basically business and humanities, I think. No maths, no studio/lab work. But there are in-country field trips!
I mentioned this to someone and they said it would probably all degenerate into a booze cruise. That would be an awful shame. Wouldn’t want to be on a booze cruise.
have you seen this fellowship? I think this is my new dream…
