Academic Credit
Students who successfully complete the SEA Semester receive 17 semester credits (12 credits for the SEA Summer Session). They receive either direct credit through their home school (schools affiliated with SEA) or transfer credit through Boston University.
All students participate in each course regardless of college major. Often, credits transfer to your college as a grouping of courses unless you petition directly through specific departments at your college.
