What is the Summer Sea Term?
The Summer Sea Term is an integral part of the Maritime College Experience. For three summers students ship out for 60 days on the Empire State VI to train for the Merchant Marine Officer’s License. The students stand watch, take classes and perform day work. The students are obtaining six credits and invaluable hands on experience. The training ship typically visits 3-5 foreign ports and one domestic port each summer. Note: Only regimental students pursuing a U.S.C.G. license participate in the summer sea term.
