Marist University

Just over a century ago, the Marist Brothers came to New York's Hudson River Valley to train young men to continue the Brothers' vocation as great educators. What started as a seminary for the training of future Marist Brothers has developed into one of the leading institutions of the arts and sciences in the country.

• At Marist, we demonstrate excellence in education through an emphasis on quality teaching in a small classroom setting. Our dedicated faculty really get to know their students, leading to mentorship, joint research opportunities, and intellectual guidance.
• Excellence in education also includes a forward-looking educational philosophy that incorporates the use of technology and meaningful learning opportunities outside the classroom–everything from internships to study abroad to leadership development programs. 
• Marist follows in the tradition of many great institutions that were founded as seminaries and developed into independent academies of higher learning.

• The School of Science at Marist has competitive funding available to support science majors in any discipline who are committed to pursuing a research project under the supervision of a Marist faculty member. 
• The purpose of the funding is to provide real research experiences for students who have a genuine desire and ability to pursue scientific research. Interested students should initially make contact with a faculty member who is willing to donate his or her time to act as a research mentor. The student should then discuss a suitable project to pursue.

• The Center for Career Services offers a variety of programs and information to assist students and alumni with setting career goals and seeking employment. Choosing a career path is a process that unfolds throughout the college years and beyond. It involves discovering individual potential, learning about career fields, and gaining career-related experience in high quality organizations. 
• Matriculated students, both undergraduate and graduate, are encouraged to become involved with the Center early in their college years to plan effectively and make informed career decisions. Career Services also promotes a strong alumni network, which fosters career advancement for its valued alumni.
