The GRE can be waived if you graduate with a 3.0 gpa or higher in your undergraduate degree or if you have at least one year applicable work experience. Please email your resume to portmanagement@berxwedan.net to request a GRE waiver based on work experience.

Classes are currently costing around $1,600 per course for resident tuition $2,850 for non-resident.

There is significant support available for our students supporting maritime industry. For those above a 3.0 GPA, there are several scholarship opportunities that will aid in this cost. In addition to scholarships, non-resident students may also qualify for a waiver that matches resident tuition.

We are currently offering at least two courses in each 8-week semester.

With a full-time course load, you can graduate in as little as 16-18 months. If your daily work load does not allow you to enroll full-time, enrolling part-time also is possible. There is no pressure to finish quickly. This program allows you to work at your own pace, from home or your office.

Yes, you may be able to transfer up to six credit hours, from a regionally accredited university, at the discretion of the CAPM program advisor.

Yes! We are fully online so that students may enroll and take classes from any area of the world.

As our classes are taught online, there is no option to physically attend Lamar University while pursuing our M.S. in port and terminal management degree. If you would like to come to campus, please look at the Master of Engineering Management (M.E.M.) program or the Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program. Both have a concentration in port management and offer face-to-face classes.
