(Informaci\u00f3n\u00a0en\u00a0espa\u00f1ol)<\/a><\/p>\n

Located on a compact and scenic waterfront campus in Vallejo, California, California State University Maritime Academy (Cal Maritime) is a unique and specialized campus of the 23-campus California State University system. Serving nearly 1,000 students<\/strong>, we are one of only seven degree-granting maritime academies in the United States – and the only one<\/strong> on the West Coast.<\/p>\n

A key part of the campus experience is the annual training cruise aboard our 500-foot\u00a0Training Ship\u00a0Golden Bear<\/em><\/a>. She serves as a floating classroom\/laboratory where classroom concepts in marine transportation, engineering and technology are practiced and applied. School-sponsored, study-abroad trips provide those studying international business, logistics, maritime security and maritime policy with a first-hand exposure to those practices in locations around the world.<\/p>\n

The unique Cal Maritime program combines classroom learning with applied technology, leadership development and global awareness. No one else does what we do!<\/p>\n

Our graduates have excellent career opportunities on land, in ports, and at sea.<\/p>\n

Cal Maritime has the highest employment rate in the CSU system – 94% within three months of graduation<\/strong> – with starting salaries near the top<\/strong> of national averages. Government data show Cal Maritime alumni have the highest average salaries of any college or university (public or private) in the western U.S.<\/p>\n

Academies are generally small, focused, structured, and offer a high-quality education. These characteristics all describe Cal Maritime. Our 1,051 students<\/strong> study one of only seven majors, and students are generally very focused on their chosen fields. Quality, personalized teaching is provided with a student-to-faculty ratio of 14 to 1<\/strong> and average class size of 20<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At Cal Maritime, all students are also cadets who comprise the Corps of Cadets<\/strong> that forms the basic organizational structure of the Academy. Your classes will teach you the “hard” skills and knowledge for your degree, but the Corps of Cadets stresses the “soft” skills such as responsibility, accountability, leadership, and professionalism. Those soft skills are what give Cal Maritime graduates such an advantage in their job search and later careers. Leadership<\/strong> is emphasized through our\u00a0Edwards Leadership Program (ELP)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
