Academy Costs
The following explanations pertain to the four pages of Academy costs:
- Classes — Billing applies to total credit
or contact hours, whichever is larger. For example: The Survival at
Sea Class (MDK-100) is a 1 credit class with 2 contacts. Therefore,
your billing applies to the 2 contacts, the greater number.
- Textbooks — Cost of textbooks fluctuate each
semester.
- Uniforms — This figure does not include blue jeans, steel toe boots or shoes. Any other optional clothing purchases are
not included in figures listed.
- First Aid — For Engineers, the CPR requirement
must be met in the cadet's last year as the card must be current
when writing the USCG license.
- Firefighting — The firefighting costs are
$125 for the registration fee to be paid upon the arrival at the MARAD fire training school in Toledo. The remaining $275 is a estimate for transportation, lodging, and food expenses during your
week-long stay. Car pooling is encouraged.
(Prior Navy firefighting schools are NOT a substitute.)
- Ferris State University Tuition — All maritime academy cadets
are considered in-state residents for tuition purposes, a tremendous savings.
