We offer interactive courses taught by world-class faculty and industry professionals in an online format. This opportunity provides a flexible, tech-savvy education for working professionals.
Port and Marine terminal industry-based curriculum allows graduates to enhance career opportunities for working professionals as well as a pathway to management opportunities.
The Center for Advances in Port Management puts on Workshops and Webinars to stay engaged in the community and to create forums to address local port and marine terminal industry problems.
The Center works with the Southeast Texas Waterway Advisory Council (SETWAC) to identify, plan and deliver community outreach events.
Our research mission takes advantage of our location proximate to the major ports and private marine terminals along the major waterways in Texas and the western Gulf coast, as well as our relationships with port and marine terminal operators in the US and globally through our Advisory Board.
We also benefit from the analytical expertise and tools possessed by Lamar’s Engineering and Business college faculties.
The Center for Advances in Port Management is dedicated to preparing the port and marine terminal operating industry for 21st century challenges and opportunities through advanced education and research.
Established in the fall of 2015 through the generosity and foresight of the State of Texas, the Center is supported primarily by the colleges of business and engineering. Erik Stromberg has served as the Center’s first executive director since May, 2016.
