Training and Research
The Department of Maritime Transportation has the training ship TS Kennedy as well as numerous labs and training spaces for students to enhance their understanding and familiarity with the concepts and skills they’ll need to embark upon their chosen careers.
TS Kennedy
The receipt of TS Kennedy in April of 2023 expanded the Texas A&M Maritime Academy’s ability to educate highly trained and professional U.S. Coast Guard-licensed deck and engine officers to serve on oceangoing and inland waterway vessels and commission officers to the Navy. It is the latest in a long line of ships providing essential deck and engine training to cadets.
Ship Bridge Simulator
Three spaces housed on TAMUG’s campus utilize cutting edge technology to provide Cadets invaluable training to prepare them for any number of maritime situations and conditions.
For undergraduates there is also the opportunity of the Undergraduate Research Scholarship program (UGRS), which allows students to pursue a research project under the tutelage of a professor whilst writing a thesis.
