The guest professors are spectacular and are the only people who helped me learn during this program. The two who run the program have no desire to understand student struggles. When requesting scheduling understanding during COVID, it was recommended that I quit my job instead. It's clear that the head of this program is an academic, not a practitioner. I learned next to nothing from his ridiculous and unnecessary requirements. Not to mention, Marist chose to stay open despite numerous COVID cases... Read More at the school. If you have the option, choose a different school. The only reason I'm staying is for the lisence I get at the end. Other than that, this program gives you nothing.

I double majored with Spanish and Communications with a concentration in Public Relations. Overall, I would have to say my experience at Marist was amazing! I loved every second of both my degree programs. To start the communications degree was both challenging, but fun. The professors at the time were all awesome. I found that I could come to a number of them for any reason and they would be there to help me out. It helped that Marist had small classes. Therefore, most professor knew all of their... Read More students and were better able to connect with them. The Spanish professors were the same. They were more than just professors, they were role models and mentors. They are people I still talk to today and seek counsel and advice from. Almost all of my professor from both my programs are people I know I could still call today and they would be able to help guide me in my work. My college other than my degree programs was also amazing. I love being involve with clubs and organizations on campus. I enjoyed every second of my college career both in the classroom and outside the classroom. The activities and resources on campus were amazing. Between the intramural sports, the gym, cafes, dining halls, the river area, and so much more it was always a great time. Not to mention the views of the river and the beauty of the Hudson River in the fall and spring are breath taking. I would recommend Marist College to anyone who is looking for a fun, beautiful campus, with a close-knit community.

Marist College is a beautiful college along the banks of the Hudson River in Poughkeepsie, New York. I was honored to have been accepted and attending for four wonderful years. As a student athlete, I was able to enjoy learning and competition. My undergraduate degree is in a discipline different to my field of work. However, the degree is supported by some of the best facility that truly cares about it's students. The academic challenges are real and support by the facility and facilities for higher...

Undergraduate degrees do not always land you in the field you will spend your life in. While I did not know that at the time (who is just a professional Philosopher these days), the professors were amazing in challenging me and giving me skills that would apply in any field I would work in. I am now a teacher and I try to instill critical thinking to all of my students. The program was informative and taught me to analyze the world around me. After graduating, I was still able to go onto campus and... Read More use the career services department to properly design my resume. They were incredibly receptive and provided me with many tools to have an eye-catching and professional resume. I was able to land a teaching interview and job within a few months of meeting with them. Marist College, while expensive as it is a private school, was a worthwhile experience for me and definitely helped shape who I am today.

Overall, Marist College was the best choice of colleges for me. Nestled within two hours of New York City and the capital city of Albany, Marist was in a perfect location. Marist is a very small community of about 4,000 undergraduate students, so your professors will know who you are. There are no lecture halls on campus, so the class sizes are relatively small, which was great because you fully get to interact with other students and your professor. The Marist Criminal Justice program was rated... Read More number five in the country when I was deciding where to go. It is a very small major with five full time faculty members. One of those faculty members will be your advisor, who you will get to know very well. The professors are so well known and have connections everywhere. You are also required to do a minimum of two internships, so it pushes you to become professional and possibly even get your foot in the door for a full time job. Overall, Marist was an amazing choice of school to learn not only whatever your major is, but a great deal of other topics.

Marist College provided a small-feel college experience with top-notch professors in the field of history and education. In comparison to SUNY and CUNY schools (where I completed my masters and post-masters), Marist treated me as an individual rather than a number. I was always provided with career guidance and supports and teachers adhered to their office hours and were more than supportive along the way. Navigating the entire college experience was incredibly easy and effective and I found Marist... Read More to fulfill all of my academic and social needs.
