Webb Institute

Webb Institute, located on Long Island's North Shore in Glen Cove, New York, occupies a former Gold Coast estate featuring a historic mansion overlooking Long Island Sound. This highly selective private college specializes exclusively in naval architecture and marine engineering, offering a single undergraduate degree program that combines theoretical education with practical experience through required winter work terms in the maritime industry. The 26-acre waterfront campus includes academic facilities, engineering laboratories, a model ship testing tank, and student residence halls where all students are required to live on campus. Webb Institute maintains a small student population, providing full-tuition scholarships to all enrolled U.S. citizens, and places graduates in positions throughout the marine industry, government agencies, and research organizations.
