The Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Maritime Technologies is designed to prepare students seeking careers in the maritime industry or those who are in maritime-related apprenticeship programs to gain the necessary increase in skill level to move into supervisory positions both within their technical fields and within their companies.

Secondarily, this program is designed to prepare novice students for employment in a variety of areas within the maritime industry, to include the following: electrician, electronics technician, inside machinist, outside machinist, pipefitter, rigger, painter, carpenter, insulator, shipfitter, welder and sheetmetal worker. The program provides students with a comprehensive set of maritime industry-related skills that employers seek when selecting technicians for their industry.
