    The CMS in Focus

    College of Maritime Studies

    Under this framework, the College of Maritime Studies offers two flagship programs—Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation (BSMT) and Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering (BSMarE)—crafted to produce globally competent deck and engine officers. Combining classroom instruction, advanced simulation technology, and hands-on shipboard training, these programs equip cadets with the skills, discipline, and knowledge to excel in the international maritime industry.

    BS Marine Transportation

    The BSMT program equips cadets with the knowledge and skills required for a professional career as deck officers and navigators. It covers navigation, ship handling, cargo operations, maritime safety, meteorology, and maritime law, supported by simulation-based training. Graduates are prepared for licensure examinations and careers in international and domestic shipping.

    BS Marine Engineering

    The BSMarE program trains cadets in the operation, maintenance, and repair of marine propulsion systems, auxiliary machinery, and shipboard electrical systems. It integrates classroom instruction, hands-on workshops, and engine room simulation to prepare graduates for licensure and service as marine engineers in global maritime industries.
