Visiting and Exchange Programs

International Maritime University Exchanges - Students

Cal Maritime has entered into exchange agreements with a number of Maritime Universities across the world (current list).  Because the agreements for exchange differ dramatically from institution to institution, it is imperative that the student begin the process far in advance of the application deadlines.  What follows is a list of materials, divided into four sections, that must be compiled and used as an application form to be filed with Dr. Graham Benton.  This application form should be kept in a folder which should contain the following information:

Checklist
