Department of Marine Transportation
Welcome to the Marine Transportation Department. Our department offers a Bachelor
of Science in Marine Transportation, the largest degree program on the Cal Maritime
campus. This is a program that can lead to an exciting and rewarding career in the
U.S. merchant marine and related industries. Our job placement has been very close
to 100% upon graduation even in the severe economic downturn of recent years.
Because of its well-known quality and popularity among prospective students, and the
limited number of candidate slots, the California State University has declared the
MT Degree an impacted program. This means that additional acceptance criteria may
be required of the applicant over and above what is normally expected of most CSU
students.
