A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Welcome to Northeast Maritime Institute! It is the sea that gave me my profession, my happiness, my family and my soul. All of my sea going, and maritime-related career choices enabled my success beyond my wildest dreams. My passion to give back to my community; the maritime community, is motivated by the gratitude that I have for the amazing people, both men and women, with whom I have been able to work with. The maritime industry, going to sea specifically, provides for a great career and an unprecedented life experience. The ocean is the last bastion of adventure on earth. The sea, and all who ply it, provides an education, adventure and a way to earn a living that very few industries allow for in a collective experience. To experience this requires a certain type of person who initially must have a passion for working on and around the ocean. Northeast Maritime Institute’s Associate in Applied Science in Nautical Science accepts sixteen students per cohort. You will have to commit yourself to the following tenets for success in this program if you wish to succeed and move to a fruitful career: Honesty, Integrity and Hard Work. You will hear these constantly throughout your experience as they are the three ideals that will guarantee you a successful life as a person and a successful career on the sea. Honesty, Integrity and Hard Work. Remember these three concepts and you will be worthy of an NMI diploma. Upon enrollment you will quickly realize that you are going to be part of a groundbreaking program. Northeast Maritime Institute is the only private maritime college in the United States. My goal as President is for this Institute to be recognized as a college that produces mariners-nothing more, nothing less. Mariners! Sea-going people! Northeast Maritime Institute was founded in 1981 and has delivered world-class maritime education and training to tens of thousands of mariners since then. Our main goal is to deliver our degree program with as much passion as we have with our professional continuing education programs. Most importantly, we want to ensure that we always abide by our own creed to… “Honor the Mariner”. I hope that your experience at Northeast Maritime Institute will be the beginning of the best memories of your life. We will and always shall consider it an honor to serve as the platform from which you began your career passionately and enthusiastically.
May the sea become your passion,
Eric R. Dawicki President Northeast Maritime Institute
