Maritime Program

The San Jacinto College Maritime Program, just outside of Houston, Texas offers USCG and STCW Approved, Instructor-led deck level coursework for entry level deckhands to Unlimited Tonnage Masters currently wokring in the field.

In development and with an expected launch in fall of 2012; at the request of industry for a better quality, more educated entry level mariner, San Jacinto College will be offering an Associate's Degree Program in Maritime Operations which will combine USCG and STCW approved maritime training with the academics typically coupled to a two year college degree.  Our goal is to provide new mariners to the industry with advanced, practiced knowledge in all of the areas of math, science and english that most closely relate to their career path. 

Engineering classes will follow in mid 2012 with courses from engine room fundamentals to QMED, DDE, RFPEW Assessments and test prep up to Chief Engineer.

Our staff consists of USCG Approved Ship Masters, Chief Engineers, former US Navy, Merchant Marine Officers and skilled technicians with more than a century of combined experience who make the learning experience at San Jac Maritime both effective and enjoyable.

When our new, waterfront, multiple simulator Maritime Education Complex is complete, a total of over 80 USCG and STCW approved courses are planned.
