About
The Massachusetts Legislature established the Academy in 1891 as the Massachusetts Nautical Training School, and it has been based beside the Cape Cod Canal in Buzzards Bay since 1949. It is one of six state maritime academies in the United States and one of two “special mission” public universities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, describing itself as “The Commonwealth’s Leadership University”.
The Academy offers seven undergraduate and three graduate majors. Cadets belong to the Regiment of Cadets and follow a “Learn-Do-Lead” approach of sea terms and co-ops. The Energy Systems Engineering program has been ABET accredited since its implementation in 2015. The Academy is led by President Rear Admiral Francis X. McDonald, USMS.
