Massachusetts Maritime Academy

What are the graduation rates for students at Massachusetts Maritime Academy?

Reported completion measures show a 63% four-year graduation rate and a 74% six-year graduation rate for the relevant entering undergraduate cohort. These measures track groups of first-time, full-time students over different periods; they are not the probability that any particular applicant will graduate.

The reported first-year retention rate is 87%, meaning that most students in the measured cohort returned for the following year. Graduation and retention figures can be useful when comparing colleges, but they do not explain why individual students leave, change majors or take longer to finish. Transfer students and students following different enrollment patterns may not be represented in the standard first-time cohort measures.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Massachusetts Maritime Academy?

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings measured one year after program completion for eligible graduates with usable earnings records. For Massachusetts Maritime Academy, the reported figure is $83,261 for naval architecture and marine engineering and $75,919 for marine transportation.

Other reported one-year field figures are $46,903 for the listed homeland-security-related field, $46,873 for international business and $45,730 for natural resources conservation and research. These are field-level measures, not starting-salary offers or predictions for every graduate. The federal measures cover the graduates included in the underlying records, rather than every student, and may combine outcomes across employers, locations and occupations. They also do not account for an individual's borrowing, additional credentials or later career progression.
