About Maine Maritime Academy
Maine Maritime Academy (Maine Maritime or MMA) is a public college focused on maritime training and located in Castine, Maine. Established by the 90th Maine Legislature on March 21, 1941, the academy is one of six non-federal maritime training colleges in the United States and one of only two that fields a Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) unit. Unlike federal service academies, no congressional recommendation is required for admission to this state institution. The academy serves approximately 979 undergraduate students who pursue degrees in maritime-related fields including engineering, business and logistics, marine sciences, and marine transportation. Graduates are not obligated to pursue sea-going or military careers after graduation, with many choosing shore-side employment in maritime-related industries or the power generation sector. The college is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education.
