Commercial Cruise (Sea-Going Internship) Opportunities for Marine Engineering Technology Majors
All students in the Marine Engineering Technology degree program are required to sail on a sixty-day commercial cruise. Commercial Cruise is completed during the sophomore summer after successfully passing the first training cruise aboard the Academy's Training Ship Golden Bear during the freshman summer. Cruise cadets sail aboard an actual working Merchant Marine vessel to gain hands-on training while experiencing life at sea in their chosen career.
