A robust curriculum...

Marist students receive a balanced educational experience with a combination of a liberal arts foundation, fundamental theory in their major, and practical experience in their future field. Along with core and major coursework, students will also study Management and Human Resources. Additionally, students can tailor their concentration by selecting two additional courses among ten, with the opportunity to add a Human Resource Management or Leadership track.

Our optional tracks allow students to dive deeper into topics in Human Resources Management or Leadership. Students can choose from a list of electives specific to each track to tailor their own experience, such as:

  • Compensation Administration
  • People Analytics
  • Leadership & Management in Non-profit Organizations
  • Negotiations & Conflict Management

鈥淚 transferred to Marist once I completed my first two years at Dutchess Community College (DCC) and wanted to continue to be a commuter student. I wanted to find a local school that had a great business administration program. Also, the campus was so pretty, I could actually see myself walking the campus and studying in the library while viewing those beautiful sunsets over the Hudson River.鈥
