Careers

Our Department of Career Services and Cooperative Education is your window to the world beyond MMA! Most students spend between one and three summers working in their chosen field through industry internships or co-ops, and these often lead to well-paying jobs after graduation. MMA students work with companies such as Shell, Pepsi Co., Kiewit Corporation, General Dynamic, the Jackson Laboratory, and more, and our in-person Career Fair attracts 80+ companies annually. 

Typically, 90% of graduates are employed within 90 days of graduation.

Typically after graduation, we tend to place about 90% of our students within 90 days of graduation. A lot of our students are, of course, going into the Maritime industry, working with lots of different places, working on ships all over the world, either on deck or in the engine room. Our oceanography students, for example, go work in research lab. International business logistics students are going to work for companies all over the world, basically, anyone, anyone who moves things. A lot of our shoreside engineers want to work in power plants.

The biggest draw for the companies here has to do with the license mariners and the engineers here. We have power companies that come in. All of those companies need logistics people. All of those companies need people with environmental skills. We have engineering companies come in. We have local Maine companies. We have high tech software companies. For a school of our size, we pull in 70 big companies to come into a career fair is a big deal.
