Nicholls State University is set to become the primary location for the Universities of Louisiana Maritime Academy.

This announcement comes as a University of Louisiana System supervisor board approved a Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation at Nicholls, according to a Nicholls press release.

The Louisiana Board of Regents must approve the degree program for the university to gain full approval

Nicholls promptly named Capt. Kelly Denning as Executive Director of the Academy. Capt. Denning will oversee the academy’s development.

The Captain who has worked for the Coast Guard for 26 years is “excited to join the ULMA [Universities of Louisiana Maritime Academy,]” according to the Nicholls press release.
