Marine Transportation Operations<\/h1>\n\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

The Marine Transportation Operations curriculum is organized to develop those skills and abilities that are necessary in pursuing a professional career at sea. \u00a0Students majoring in this program also may participate in any minor\/concentration programs. \u00a0Successful completion of this program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree and a U.S. Coast Guard Third Mate’s unlimited license. In addition to meeting the college requirement for graduation with at least a 2.0 grade point average for the B.S. degree, graduating students are required to have a minimum grade point average of 2.25 in the MTO program core courses. For the MTO program, core courses are defined as courses with the prefix CD, CR, and NS.<\/p>\n

Additional requirements for graduation:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Complete practical training and regimental requirements as published in the Regimental Manual.<\/li>\n
  • Pass both practical and written portions of USCG lifeboatman examination and the USCG Third Mate’s examination.<\/li>\n
  • Complete sea time requirements as required for the USCG license.<\/li>\n
  • Fulfill one elective with PO230 (Contemporary World Politics I), EC102 (Microeconomics), EC201 (Macroeconomics), GE200 (World Regional Geography I), or GE210 (World Regional Geography II).<\/li>\n
  • PS301 (Technical Physics III) can be substituted for PS201 (Technical Physics II).<\/li>\n
  • Core classes within the MTO Program have STCW competencies within the course, and students are required to achieve a minimum of 70% grade to obtain credit for those competencies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
