The program allows you to take up to 10 graduate credits in your senior year, which count toward both undergraduate and graduate degrees.
EXPERT FACULTY Our ITT professors are selected for their incisive understanding of their fields and extensive industry experience. Many have worked in marine operations, and some are published authors who have contributed research on topics including marine insurance and admiralty law. They bring expertise in areas such as container ship operations, intermodal logistics, economics and finance of ports and terminals, maritime security, and more.
U.S. COAST GUARD DECK LICENSE A deck license qualifies you to work onboard commercial vessels, navigating, handling cargo, maintaining the ship, and ensuring operational safety.
