NCAA D3 | MASCAC
We are in the early stages of building something new and great. We have a young and talented roster, a committed coaching staff, and a home field in the heart of Buzzards Bay. Joining us means you'll be a part of something special.
From the regiment to the classroom to the playing field, being a student at Mass Maritime is hard work. Our players thrive in this environment, and it helps them prepare for life after college.
You'll leave here a better player and a better leader than you arrived. We coach every player, every day.
Our players come from different backgrounds, bring unique perspectives, and have different life ambitions. But on the field and in the team room, we work as one.

Navigate and run ships. You graduate with a U.S. Coast Guard Third Mate license, which puts you on the bridge of an oceangoing vessel.
Run the power plant of a ship. You earn a Coast Guard Third Assistant Engineer license through classwork and real time at sea.
Plan for disasters before they happen and lead when they do. You can add EMT, Firefighter I and II, and paramedic certifications along the way.
Design and run the systems that power everything, from conventional plants to solar and wind. Over 40 percent of the program is hands-on: 14 labs and 3 internships.
Keep hospitals, campuses, and big buildings running. Co-ops put you inside real facilities before you graduate.
The business side of shipping. Ninety percent of the world's goods travel by ship at some point, and this is the major that runs that. Two co-ops, plus a hands-on course that can take you abroad.
Protect the coast and the ocean, and keep people safe at work. You're on the water doing fieldwork early and often.
Every major has a Buccaneer in it this year.
Ayla Santoro, our senior captain, is a Marine Science, Safety and Environmental Protection major.
Sea Term is a six-week, hands-on voyage aboard the training ship Patriot State, typically in January and February between academic terms. Marine Engineering and Marine Transportation cadets complete at least four. All majors may have the opportunity to participate, pending space availability.
Internships, co-ops, and experiential learning courses put cadets to work in their field across the country and abroad. You'll graduate with a full resume along with a degree.
Drawing inspiration from the United States Military and Merchant Marine, the Regiment of Cadets instills discipline, knowledge, and leadership in all. Built on a model of followership, then leadership, cadets develop self-discipline, professionalism, confidence, honor, and pride in themselves and their shipmates. Only cadets who volunteer for commissioning programs have military obligations.

Mass Maritime is partnering with New Balance and Clean Harbors on the New Balance Wellness Center at the Clean Harbors Athletic Facility: 18,000 square feet connected to the gym, built for training and recovery. Design runs through 2027, with a fall 2029 opening planned. If you're a junior or senior in high school right now, you'd be training in it as an upperclassman.
“New Balance is proud to support Massachusetts Maritime Academy through this new wellness center that will provide enhanced athletic and well-being opportunities that complement the Academy's strong academic and skill development programs.”
Jim Davis, Chairman, New Balance
