AOL just featured Webb Institute on its list of colleges with the richest graduates in the US, ranking us 23rd with a mid-career median of $146,500 and an early-career median of $85,300.

Webbies earn that from day one. Our graduates are naval architects and marine engineers who design, build, and sustain the vessels that move the world.

With one major, roughly 100 students, and a 100% job placement rate, small and mighty isn't a slogan here. It's the model.

Webb Institute has been named to The Princeton Review's The Best 392 Colleges, 2027 edition - a guide that profiles only 14% of four-year colleges in the country.

The ratings we're proudest of are the ones about our faculty:
Professors Accessible - 96
Professors Interesting - 95
Academic – 93

Those scores don't come from a committee. They come from student surveys. And when students described what makes Webb different, one of them put it this way: “It is normal to see students talking with professors while waiting in line for lunch.”

That's what a 9:1 ratio and no teaching assistants actually look like day-to-day.

Our 2026 Commencement Speaker, Rep. Tom Suozzi joined Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, and Rep. Brendan Boyle in introducing the bipartisan American Mariner Tax Fairness Act and named Webb Institute in his statement on the bill.

The legislation would extend the foreign earned income exclusion to U.S. merchant mariners who serve at least 90 days in a 12-month period aboard qualifying U.S.-flag vessels in foreign trade. It's targeted relief aimed squarely at the recruitment and retention problem: America's oceangoing U.S.-flag fleet has fallen from roughly 1,100 vessels in 1950 to fewer than 200 today, and the pool of credentialed mariners has contracted with it.

Rep. Suozzi noted that his district is home to us at the Webb Institute and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Having welcomed him to campus as our commencement speaker, we're glad to see that connection carried into the work of strengthening the maritime workforce.

Webb's mission has always been to prepare engineers who design, build, and sustain the vessels this country depends on. Policy that makes a career at sea more sustainable strengthens the entire pipeline… and the industry our graduates enter.

We'll be following this one closely. Read more here:

This is our whole student body.
Four class photos of every current , and every future naval architect and marine engineer on campus this year.

It's what makes the experience here work. A class small enough that the Professors know every student by name, and a cohort that graduates into an industry where they already know each other.

Photos by our students.

Seniors, we see you. (They picked their own spot.)

The Class of 2030 spent their first week at Webb settling in, meeting classmates, and diving straight into the work.

In one of their first courses, Professor Bradley Golden '99 challenged students to design and build paper boats using minimal supplies before putting their creations to the test in the Cuneo Courtyard fountain.

Welcome to the Webb community, Class of 2030!

For many of them, it was the first art class they'd ever taken.
Each year in Professor Richard Harris's Western Culture II course, Webb students put down the drafting tools and pick up a brush, recreating a painting stroke by stroke. Most arrive with no formal training. What they bring instead is precision: the patience to work a problem until it resolves, the discipline to get a detail exactly right.

Applied to a canvas, that instinct does something remarkable.
The Class of 2027 took this on as underclassmen, and by some accounts turned out some of the strongest work the course has seen.

Boxes, books, and brand-new beginnings. The Class of 2030 moved on campus this morning, and O-Week is officially underway!

Four years from now they'll be naval architects and marine engineers. Today, they're just figuring out which end of the extra-long twin sheet goes where.

Welcome home, Webbies! The Long Island Sound looks good on you.

Earlier this year, we announced the W. Selkirk Owen Award for Joe Signorelli '54 at Homecoming in May. Last week, a group of Webbies had the joy of presenting it to Joe in person, and the even greater joy of listening to him.

Joe was among the first classes to study at Webb's Glen Cove campus, and he brought the 1950s right into the room with him. Stories of working under Admiral Hyman Rickover. Attending sea trials for the Navy's earliest nuclear submarines. A chance meeting with a young Navy officer named Jimmy Carter.

But the story that stayed with us was how Joe kept in touch with his Webb roommate for seventy years. He showed us that four years on a small campus on Long Island Sound, and you leave with a career… and with people who stay in your life for the next seven decades.

Joe was joined by his daughter, Tara and by fellow alumni Dave Bovet, Vicky Dlugokecki, Jen Kollmer, and Ian Mutnick. Thank you, Joe, for a career of service to the maritime community and to Webb!
