STUDENTS

Corning School students have diverse interests, backgrounds, and career plans.  Many come to Maine Maritime with a desire to be on the water and to study the ocean and its life.  Some know exactly what they want to do; some are undecided.  Career options include becoming a lab technician, teacher, marine technician, hydrographer, fisheries observer and more.  Some graduates go on to advanced degrees in fields such as oceanography, marine biology, aquaculture, education, chemistry, geology, and marine archaeology.  Others stay an extra year to double major in Maine Maritime's small vessel program and earn a U.S. coast guard license. 

Whatever brings you here, you will leave with a well-rounded education and good career prospects!  Need to know more about career options?  Check out Sea Grant's excellent guide to careers in marine biology and marine science.  Want to know more about why scientists choose these fields as a career?  Check out this link to the autobiographies of more than 150 women marine biologists and oceanographers (may take a few minutes to load).
