Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $14,478 annually, while those from households making over $110,000 face the full cost. Over four years, total expenses range from $58,000 to $105,000 depending on family income.
The investment pays off quickly in the maritime industry. Graduates earn a median $78,584 in their first year, jumping to $95,951 after a decade. With median debt of $23,250, monthly loan payments average $246. That represents less than 4% of typical starting salaries for ship officers and marine engineers. Only 41% of students need federal loans, and 98% find employment after graduation.
Low-income students get the best financial deal here, paying roughly half what wealthy families pay while accessing the same high-paying career pipeline into commercial shipping and marine transportation.
