Marist is a comprehensive institution with its 210-acre main campus in the Hudson River Valley in New York, a campus in Florence, Italy, and educational offerings around the world through its online programs. Marist is distinguished by high- quality faculty, innovative program offerings, a beautiful riverfront campus, and a technological platform that is comparable to those of the best research universities in the world. HISTORY & MISSION OF MARIST COLLEGE Marist is dedicated to helping students develop the intellect and character required for enlightened, ethical, and productive lives in the global community of the 21 st century. These goals derive from the Marist Brothers, a teaching order that originated in France in 1817, settled in Poughkeepsie in 1905, and established the Marist Normal Training School in 1929. The school evolved into an independent four-year liberal arts college, receiving its charter from New York State in 1946. Marist is committed to ensuring student success, promoting innovation, and social good. VISION STATEMENT The Marist ideal of excellence in education is achieved through an emphasis on quality teaching and distinctive learning opportunities. At the undergraduate level, this begins with a firm foundation in the liberal arts and sciences. Through core courses and their major, students are educated to think logically and creatively, to synthesize and integrate methods and insights from a variety of disciplines, and to express their opinions both orally and in writing. Students are encouraged to consider the ethical dimensions of the subjects they study, and to become more aware of their own values and the value implications of the choices they make. They are also exposed to cultures other than their own through on-campus, community-based, and study abroad programs. Marist has a long history of serving the needs of adult learners, offering graduate and undergraduate programs that are built on a strong liberal arts foundation and meet the same high standards as Marist’s traditional programs. Marist allows these students to balance their education with work and family responsibilities by offering flexible scheduling, degree completion, online programs, and satellite campuses. Marist seeks to distinguish itself by the way it uses information technology to support teaching, learning, and scholarships. By familiarizing students with advanced technologies, Marist helps them become better prepared to be productive members of society and lifelong learners. The Marist ideal of community is based on the belief that the College becomes a better institution through the involvement of faculty, staff, students, and alumni. Marist strives to be a diverse community, but also one united by a shared commitment to the free exchange of ideas, consideration of the opinions of others, and civility in all interactions. Marist believes in the dignity of every human being and is committed to the principle of service. The College conducts programs for the disadvantaged, a wide variety of programs that meet community needs, and programs that broaden access to education. Students, faculty, staff, and alumni are encouraged to make service an important part of their lives.
