This research aimed to determine the factors affecting the career choice of Maritime students studying at Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation. With the help of this research, maritime students can be able to assess their preferences and reach a sound decision. The researchers focused on discovering the possible factors encountered by maritime students.

The findings from the research conclude that most of the respondents were male and that the main factor that affects their decision for choosing Maritime was because of their personal choice and the financial stability it can give in the future. Thus, the study has been reviewed and interpreted the data gathered to come up with the recommendations needed to limit the factors affecting the decision of Maritime students and propose an output that is relevant to increase and promote the program.
