Port Program
The Scholar Ship's Port Program provided students with experiential learning opportunities in host countries around the world and were designed to add relevancy and global perspective to the onboard academic programs. The Port Program presented opportunities for students to explore the host countries' diverse cultures through four elements:
- Academic Field Programs
- Community Service
- Shore Excursions
- Independent Travel
Each of the four elements of the Port Program were developed in collaboration with local academic and professional partners, drawing on a variety of experiential education methodologies. As a result, students learned from local experts and successful practitioners who shared their knowledge, opinions and insights into each region's culture. There was also time for personal exploration, leisure and recreation.

“Treat the cow kindly, boys; remember she’s a lady—and a mother.”
