Discovery Voyage: A Key Outreach Program

Maine Maritime Academy (MMA) is located in Castine Maine, a small town on the Maine Coast. The college's remote location presents significant challenges in attracting potential students and in allowing the school to support Maine's youth and industry. To improve the school's interaction with students at Maine High Schools, MMA established the Discovery Voyage (DV) Program in 1995. Since the DV Program was started, MMA has experienced a dramatic increase in the number of applications and Engineering Department enrollment and is currently at full enrollment of approximately 800 students.
