Summary of Major
Semester-by-Semester Curriculum - BS + USCG License
This major accepts applications every Fall semester beginning October 1st each year. To apply, go to calstate.edu/apply.
Spring term applications are not accepted for Marine Transportation.
Students with any number of college transfer units can be admitted. Note that only
the first 70 community college semester units (105 quarter units) can be used toward
the total needed for graduation. Any remaining community college units can fulfill
specific requirements but not add to the total number of units required for graduation.
All transfer students should plan to spend at least four years at Cal Maritime completing
this degree regardless of the number of college units transferred in from other institutions.
Transferred courses can, however, reduce the number of courses required in individual
semesters allowing time for study in remaining courses, for an academic minor, or
for student employment.
