We are a state university of Massachusetts as well as a state maritime academy. We offer seven undergraduate majors, all Bachelor of Science degrees with strong STEM focus. Two of our majors allow students to earn their Bachelor's along with a U.S. Coast Guard license to pursue careers at sea; our other five majors are focused on land-based careers both within the maritime industry and other industries. Our academic approach is hands-on, with a focus on experiential learning and internship/co-op experiences. We are a regimented school as well, meaning students participate in a military style structure on campus (uniforms, structured days, etc.), but students DO NOT have any military obligation upon graduation. Commissioning options are available for those that are interested.
