California State University Maritime Academy

Located on a 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. We are one of only seven degree-granting maritime academies in the United States — and the only one on the West Coast. A key part of the campus experience is the Summer Sea Term aboard our 500-foot Training Ship Golden Bear. TSGB 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 and logistics, international strategy and security, as well as oceanography with a first-hand exposure to those practices in locations around the world. Cal Maritime has the highest employment rate in the CSU system with starting salaries near the top of national averages.
