Test Requirements

The submission of SAT or ACT scores is optional. For more information, please review our Test Optional Policy.

If you choose to submit your standardized test scores, you must submit official test scores from either The College Board (SAT) or The ACT (ACT). When taking the exam, have your scores sent directly to Massachusetts Maritime Academy. Please note, score requests can take between 2-4 weeks to be delivered and added to a student's application. 

Average SAT Score: 1050-1100* (SAT Code: 3515)
Average ACT Score: 22-23 (ACT Code: 1856)

*We will superscore your SAT scores.

Other FE Recommendations:
  • The average weighted GPA of incoming students is a 3.1 - or about a B average. This is not a minimum requirement, only an average.

  • As a STEM institution, counselors will be considering high school math/science performance. 

  • While any senior year math course will meet our course requirements, we would encourage students to take Pre-Calculus or Calculus, if available, in their senior year. These courses best align with the required math curriculum at the Academy.
