As an academy of only 1,000 students within the California State University system,
Cal Maritime offers education on a more personal scale and in a more engaging way than larger
campuses. We combine our small average class size of 23 with a thought-provoking blend of
courses focused on your major and courses ensuring a broad education. Instructors go beyond
simply delivering the lecture; they inspire, mentor, and have an impact on the lives of their students.
Your education at Cal Maritime will be a combination of theoretical and practical coursework,
designed to provide you with some of the best real-life preparation available anywhere.
Fundamental concepts and theories will come to life as you apply them in labs, simulators,
internships, co-ops, and on the Training Ship GOLDEN BEAR. This hands-on approach will allow
you to conduct research and to practice your skills prior to entering the professional world.
As an example, students in the international business and global studies programs visit businesses
and embassies as part of their international study tour, in addition to interning with local businesses
and governmental agencies at other times. All engineering students and marine transportation
students gain experience in the field to complement their lab and simulator work on campus.
In addition to its shore-based simulators, Cal Maritime
recently added two simulators on board the
Training Ship GOLDEN BEAR. The navigation lab and
diesel simulator provide additional training options
for cadets while they are their training cruises.

two-month training cruise aboard our Training Ship GOLDEN BEAR. Following your first year
of instruction, you will sail the Pacific Rim while taking part in hands-on instruction and
classes that pertain to your major. If you elect to pursue a major that results in either the
third mate’s or third assistant engineer’s license, you will sail aboard the GOLDEN BEAR after
your third year, as well. The majors mentioned above also pursue summer internships, or
co-ops, to provide them with the practical experience that is vital in the global workplace.
