The student choosing a career as a
licensed deck officer (mate) or
a shoreside maritime manager

This major provides the broadest
maritime industry training
possible consistent
with officer licensing
requirements.
Marine Transportation graduates
have a broad employment field
open to them. A wide variety of
shoreside management positions
await the graduate in numerous
maritime sectors, including
vessel operations, ship’s

stevedoring, charter brokering,
and federal employment, as well
as shipboard employment
opportunities.
