Overview

Massachusetts Maritime Academy is a four-year college built for hands-on, career-focused learning, where cadets don’t just study their field, they live it.

Learn

Build a strong foundation in one of seven specialized Bachelor of Science programs, blending classroom theory with applied learning from day one.

Do

Gain real-world experience across every major: train at sea aboard the TS Patriot State (Marine Transportation & Marine Engineering), lead disaster relief projects (Emergency Management), study global supply chains abroad (International Maritime Business), and explore tropical ecology in Bermuda (Marine Science, Safety & Environmental Protection). Cadets in all majors complete co-ops with leading companies, often leading directly to careers.

Lead

Develop discipline, accountability, and leadership within the Regiment of Cadets, preparing you to take charge on campus, at sea, and in your career.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.
