About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Maine Maritime Academy is a public university in Castine, Maine, enrolling 942 undergraduates. The student body includes a 24.6% share of Pell Grant recipients and an estimated 20.6% who arrive as transfers, so the campus is shaped by more than one entry route.
The university admits 54.1% of applicants, a rate that is considerably more selective than the 83.4% median for comparable institutions (same type and size). Pell-eligible and transfer applicants can use the cost calculator to estimate their own grant-adjusted price and review the transfer information alongside their intended field.
Students who start at Maine Maritime Academy tend to stay and finish at rates that clear the peer medians. First-year retention is 81.7%, against a median of 73.4% for comparable institutions.
The six-year graduation rate is 58.2%, above the peer median of 43.5%. Pell Grant recipients complete at nearly the same rate as the entering cohort as a whole.
Their six-year rate is 57.5%, 0.7 percentage points below the overall figure. An enrolled student can expect a campus where most classmates return for a second year and where the Pell completion rate tracks the overall rate closely.
The share of entrants outside the first-time, full-time group is estimated at 20.6%, so a notable portion of the student body arrived after starting elsewhere.
