San Luis Obispo,Vallejo

California State University officials are backing a move to integrate the California Maritime Academy with Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, as the institution in Vallejo faces financial challenges.

VALLEJO – According to the university system, Cal Maritime students would become part of the Cal Poly student body at the start of the 2026-27 school year if the proposal is approved. The Vallejo campus, which is among seven maritime academies in the U.S. and the only one on the West Coast, would continue to offer its specialized degree programs.

According to university officials, enrollment in Cal Maritime has dropped 31% in less than a decade, from 1,100 students in 2016-17 to just over 750 in the 2023-24 school year. Along with fewer students, rising employment and operational costs have contributed to a fiscal crisis at the school, raising questions about its viability as a standalone institution.
