          The curriculum leading to the B. S. degree in Maritime Studies combines a broad grounding in technical and scientific coursework with the study of two clusters of courses in the Arts and the Humanities; the curriculum leads to a capstone “Seminar in Maritime Studies,” which provides the student with an opportunity to demonstrate mastery of all aspects of these studies. Each student’s program is shaped through personal consultation with a faculty advisor. The student’s individual program may emphasize any two of literature, history, the arts, or language and culture, according to the interests of the student and availability of staff.
          The student who graduates with a B. S. degree in Maritime Studies will be able to pursue multiple opportunities: graduate study in the humanities or law; employment in shoreside areas of the maritime industry; employment in a field that demands both technical training and analytical communication skills; or the U. S. Navy.
          If you think you might be interested in pursuing this curriculum, see the Chair of the Humanities Department, or any other Humanities faculty member.
