<p>Good suggestion by Stanatedj. A few of the State Maritime Academies, maybe all of them, provide entree to the Naval or Coast Guard officer corps. Again, your choice of major is likely limited. At SUNY Maritime College in New York, all they offer is engineering. There would be no clear path to being a pre-med at the Maritime colleges because their life science curriculum tends to be quite thin. The exception might be marine science/oceanography.</p>
