1.      Accreditation:  Maine Maritime Academy is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.  Engineering Technology and Engineering degrees are also accredited by the American Board for Engineering and Technology, which is the generally required standard of engineering education looked for by employers and graduate schools.  The Coast Guard has approved MMA’s license programs for the internationally required Service, Training, Competency , and Watchstanding standards

2.      The Regiment is an organization which features leadership and management training,  structured training environment, a time management program and a personal development program.  Students in the Regiment must wear uniforms, live on campus, and abide by Regiment rules, but this is not a military program and there is no after-college service obligation.
