Study Abroad Programs in Dominica

Seamester is the educational adventure of a lifetime! For more than 40 years, we have offered unparalleled educational voyages where students spend a semester at sea sailing between islands, countries, and even continents. We design our programs to provide engaging learning experiences with real outcomes in ways that are impossible to replicate in the traditional classroom. Living as part of a close-knit team on an ocean-going vessel, our students learn fundamental lessons beyond academics: teamwork, leadership, and personal responsibility. They receive academic credit from the University of South Florida, along with PADI scuba certifications and IYT sailing certifications. Our programs are designed to inspire students to realize that it’s the journey, not the destination, that matters the most.

Take your classroom abroad! Immerse yourself in rich Dominican culture and history while experiencing all the “Nature Island” offers. Embrace the tropical climate while exploring the biodiversity of the coral reefs, mountains, rivers, hot springs, and beautiful sights and sounds of the rainforest. Spend your clinical time conducting speech and hearing screenings, running group therapy camps, administering formal and informal assessments, and learning about quality patient care from licensed, American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) accredited Speech-Language Pathologists. Our one-of-a-kind agreement with the government of Dominica allows students the most diverse experiences possible -work in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, schools, and home health settings! Gain observation and/or clinical hours and increase your cultural competency as a future clinician. Broaden your horizons as you try new adventures such as snorkeling the famous Champagne Reef, jumping into the Emerald Pools, exploring Trafalgar Falls, and Whale watching. This program is the perfect combination of those seeking adventure and hands-on learning.

Imagine studying veterinary medicine on the beautiful, peaceful, tropical island of Dominica—often called the Nature Island of the Eastern Caribbean. US and international students taking the 4-year DVM program at St. Nicholas University School of Veterinary Medicine are required to have a minimum of 60 college/university credits. They must have earned a high school diploma with official transcripts displaying successful completion of English, Mathematics, and Chemistry with a minimum grade of C (not required for the 5-year DVM Program with PreVet). Plus, all prospective students are required to demonstrate a minimum level of English language proficiency before admission. At St. Nicholas University School of Veterinary Medicine, we have modern training equipment at our disposal. You will gain hands-on experience in our University Veterinary clinic, which also supports St Nicholas Animal Rescue and Shelter – a non-profit we sponsor. Our graduates may qualify for work abroad, including in Canada and the USA. In addition to our already low tuition fees, we offer various scholarship possibilities for those in need.
