All of Galveston’s campuses are located in close proximity to harbors or bays, offering easy access for research and sailing around the bay as part of classroom studies or for recreation. In fact, the school’s ship (the Texas Clipper) is part of each student’s experience, as they sail on it to learn the skills of seamanship and navigation.
As students prepare to graduate they take a test to become official members of the U.S. Merchant Marine.
