The State University of New York Maritime College is a public maritime college in the Bronx, New York City. It is part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system. Founded in 1874, the SUNY Maritime College was the first college of its kind to be founded in the United States and is one of only seven degree-granting maritime academies in the United States.
This is a strong option for students drawn to maritime careers or engineering, especially given the median earnings of $86,200 at 10 years out — solid payoff for a relatively affordable public school with just $15,875 in median debt at graduation. The small enrollment and specialized focus mean you're choosing a tight, career-specific path, not a traditional broad college experience, so it's best suited for students who are certain about that direction. The 75% graduation rate and 80% freshman retention are decent but worth asking about, particularly whether attrition is tied to the demanding, military-style environment that defines campus life here.
