What Marist College School of Management does

Marist College School of Management is one of seven academic schools within Marist University, a private higher education institution founded in 1929 and headquartered in Poughkeepsie, New York. The university serves undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, international, military/veteran, and adult/returning students across disciplines including Management, Communication and the Arts, Computer Science and Mathematics, Liberal Arts, Science, and Social and Behavioral Sciences, with an additional international campus in Florence, Italy supporting a #1 nationally ranked study abroad program.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through admissions counselors, Summer Preview Days, campus visits, virtual tours, and a multi-channel digital presence spanning Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter. Supporting revenue-adjacent assets include the Marist 100 strategic plan, the Marist/IBM Joint Study research partnership, the Marist Poll public opinion research organization, the Hudson River Valley Institute, and a recent Top 50 Online MBA ranking from The Princeton Review. Operationally, the institution reports 94% graduate employment or graduate school placement within 6 months, 65% intramural participation (rising annually since 2020), 140+ student clubs and organizations, 20+ club sports, and 300+ Greek life members across seven chapters.
