What Students Are Saying

I'm going to say 4 out of 5 because the classes for some majors are leaps and bounds more difficult than others. The core isn't all that difficult to complete, but some classes within your major, if you're one of the hard majors, will be outright grueling.

The classes that are geared toward your major are very interactive, relevant, and interesting. The core curriculum takes up most of your study time. You want to find a course you find interesting that counts as a core, or you might be pulling your hair out.

marist is more rigorous than high school, but by budgeting your time wisely, you can have plenty of free time and still do superbly in classes.

Marist College challenges its students. In my time at Marist College, I have felt challenged but not too overwhelmed. The professors at this higher education institution are committed to teaching their students to the best of their ability which involves challenging them and encouraging them to escape their comfort zone.
Kaitlyn from Allentown, NJ
All of my professors have been accommodating to everything and always willing to help. They want to get to know you as a person, not just as a student in their class. The class sizes are small.
