Future Students

The Department of Maritime Transportation understands that knowledge gained in a classroom is vital yet limited, even if it is delivered by first class professors and industry experts. That is why the department heavily emphasizes the use of hands-on training in state-of-the-art simulators, onboard ships, or in the inner workings of the port. Combined, these two facets of the MART education give our graduates all the skills and confidence they will need to become the next generation of leaders in the maritime industry.

A Bachelor of Science degree from the Department of Maritime Transportation does not mean you are only qualified to sail a cargo ship.  The maritime industry is incredibly diverse and rapidly growing, with new sectors constantly emerging.  The education received here will prepare you to be successful in any area of the maritime industry, both off and on shore.  The emphasis on logistics will make all graduates from the MART department highly sought-after in the business world. This degree also prepares students for the possibility of graduate studies in areas such as international trade, economics, MBA, law school, or the graduate program in Maritime Administration and Logistics here at TAMUG.

The world is connected through a system of ports and trade that have turned our vast oceans into a fluid highway system.  Maritime transportation is only increasing in value, and people the world over are seeking to understand and be a part of this dynamic field.  With the Department of Maritime Transportation, you’ll have the opportunity to meet new people, experience new cultures, and learn new approaches to this industry in one of the most memorable college adventures.
