The Landing School offers four, nine-month marine industry- related diploma programs. The programs include: Marine Systems, Composite Boatbuilding, Yacht Design, and Wooden Boatbuilding. Students who complete any two diploma programs along with 14 general education credit-hours can earn an Associate’s degree in Marine Industry Technology.
Students in the Marine Systems program learn to install, maintain, and repair marine electrical and mechanical systems through formal lectures, labs, field trips, and hands-on work on actual vessels and vessel systems. The curriculum begins with the basics of mechanical fastenings and the use of hand tools. The ability to assemble and disassemble equipment grows as students develop their hand skills.
