academies.

interested students and guidance counselors
What:
Virtual question and answer session with some of our outstanding
Midshipmen. This will be the perfect opportunity to learn about the
admissions process and what it’s really like to attend USMMA.

the following link: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAscOqtrTMuHtLSOJygP9rbEUjJ8NU4PuGh
After registering, you will receive a
confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
Federal Service Academies are not for
everyone but we encourage those students looking to serve their country and
accept a demanding academic schedule to apply. Like all federal service
academies, there is no application fee for USMMA.
Our rigorous four-year academic program
is highlighted by the Academy’s Sea Year experience. Through this unique
program, every student gains real-world leadership experience working
aboard commercial ships sailing to ports around the world during three
academic terms. Our students pursue a degree in one of five majors offered
through two Academic Departments: Marine Engineering and Marine
Transportation. Students receive full tuition, room and board, and books at
no cost.
Graduates of the United States Merchant
Marine Academy earn a Bachelor of Science degree, a U.S. Coast Guard
license, and a commission in the United States Armed Forces. Our graduates
have an option to work as ship’s officers in the United States maritime industry
or serve as commissioned officers on active duty in any branch of service.
More information about the Academy can be
found here.
