UCLA:

We generally teach no more than twenty-five students per Masters/Mate class at the University. The University provides an on campus classroom depending on the size of the class. The classrooms are much larger than called for by the USCG. The classrooms are provided with large and ample conference tables. They are clean, well maintained with all proper fire doors, etc.

The Instructor Paul J. Miller graduated in the top ten percent from the United States Naval Academy Annapolis.

Paul taught Celestial Navigation at the Los Angeles Griffith Park Observatory for numerous years to 750 people a class. He has taught Marine Science subjects at UCLA and CSA for over 20 years and has written books and many articles on Celestial.
