Over 60 percent of our maritime workforce is over 50 years old.
Answering a distress call from local maritime employers for a better educated, more well-rounded, advanced entry level professional mariner, the San Jacinto College Maritime Program, guided by an advisory committee including many leaders in the local maritime industry, has developed this curriculum to provide the academics required of a two year college degree combined with U.S. Coast Guard approved maritime coursework.
Students will merge USCG approved and required maritime coursework with math, science and english classes which will allow them to be much more prepared for a professional career on the water and be much more attractive in the job market.
Graduates of this program will have exactly what local maritime employers are looking for in their new crew. These employers have been integral in designing this new maritime degree program and are anxious to hire the young people who complete the program.
