About
Maine Maritime Academy
Maine Maritime Academy (MMA), a coeducational public college located in the small coastal village of Castine, Maine, enrolls approximately 800 undergraduate and graduate students. The college is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and participates in Division III of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The college offers A.S., B.S., and M.S. degrees in ocean- and marine-oriented programs, with emphasis on engineering, transportation, management, ocean sciences, and international business and logistics, as well as preparing officers for the U.S. Merchant Marine and the uniformed services of the United States. Traditional instruction is complemented by extensive hands-on educational opportunities. MMA also offers outreach programs in distance and continuing education.
A special feature of student life at MMA is the college's mix of uniformed midshipmen and students who follow a traditional college lifestyle. Participation in the college’s uniformed Regiment of Midshipmen, a student-run leadership training model designed to provide management and leadership training and experience is a federal requirement for students seeking an unlimited license in the U.S. Merchant Marine but is available to all students.
MMA maintains a fleet of 60 training, research, and pleasure vessels, including the T.S. State of Maine and the schooner Bowdoin, official vessel of the state of Maine. For further information, please visit our web site at www.mainemaritime.edu

More than 100 historic markers can be found in this town characterized by its 18th century architecture. Major landmarks include Fort George, built by the British in 1779 and partially restored as a state memorial, and Fort Madison, earthwork remnants built by the Americans in 1811, occupied by the British during the War of 1812 and reconstructed during the American Civil War.
