The Maritime and Naval Studies program is flexible enough to allow a student to tailor the program to their interests, and designed for professionals looking to advance their careers.

With online and on-campus courses, the master of science degree program focuses on maritime and naval history, literature, transportation and environmental policy. A 31-credit degree, it can be completed in three semesters.

Students may also choose to earn a U.S. Coast Guard deck license, which qualifies them to work on board commercial vessels. The license program requires a student to live near campus in order to participate in the regiment of cadets, a disciplined lifestyle program unaffiliated with the U.S. military. The license-option program requires students to complete additional licensure courses and participate in summer sea term.
