Vessel Operations and Technology<\/h1>\n

The Vessel Operations and Technology curriculum is designed to prepare students for positions of responsibility in the operation and management of a variety of private and commercial vessels. This program prepares students for USCG limited licenses. The program is organized in a two-plus-two format offering a two-year Associate of Science degree in Small Vessel Operations and a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in Vessel Operations and Technology. Four academic semesters, plus a cooperative work experience during the summer following the first year, lead to an Associate of Science degree. Four additional academic semesters plus two additional cooperative work experiences and a training cruise, lead to a Bachelor of Science degree.<\/p>\n

A student completing the Associate of Science degree requirements and meeting the applicable USCG and seatime requirements, will receive a USCG license as Mate less than 200 GRT Near Coastal, (up to 200 miles offshore). A comprehensive license exam, administered by MMA, is a requirement for receiving this license.<\/p>\n

A student completing the Bachelor of Science degree requirements and meeting the applicable USCG seatime requirements, may be eligible to sit for the USCG examination for a license as Mate less than 500 GRT or 1600 GRT\u00a0 Near Coastal or Oceans (depending on their seatime).<\/p>\n

Participation in the Regiment of Midshipmen is optional when enrolled in this program. However, students electing to participate in First Year Cruise on the Training Ship\u00a0State of Maine\u00a0<\/em>are subject to the Priority for Course Registration<\/a> policy, must have been in the Regiment for the year and meet the following prerequisites: 4\/C Maintenance; Ship’s Orientation; Ocean Survival (PE114), Fire Training (USCG1 and USCG2), Lifeboatman (USCG3), VPDSD, and Introduction to Nautical Science (NS101).<\/p>\n

In addition to meeting the college requirement for graduation with at least a 2.0 grade point average for the Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science degrees, graduating students are required to have a minimum grade point average of 2.25 in the VOT\/SVO program core courses. For the VOT program, core courses are defined as courses with the prefix CO, CR, and NS.<\/p>\n

The following table outlines the normal sequence of courses taken by students majoring in Vessel Operations and Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
