Visiting and Exchange Programs

Visiting Scholars:  Teaching/Research Opportunities

In this spirit of global awareness, a cornerstone of Cal Maritime's mission, we have established formal exchange agreements with several maritime universities (current list).  We welcome applications from scholars at these universities who wish to discuss mutually beneficial opportunities for teaching and research. 

Inviting and/or accepting a visiting scholar to The California Maritime Academy involves two steps.  First, the potential visiting scholar's interests must be matched to the needs of an academic department.  If there is a match, the second step is to obtain all the information necessary to complete a DS-2019 form (the initiation of the visa application process). 

It is the collective decision of the Department Chair and of the Academic Dean to invite a visiting scholar. Please note that no formal invitation can be made until all of the procedures outlined in the document below have been followed.  The formal invitation letter comes from the Academic Dean.
