Marist






Just about 1 mile up the road from CIA, Marist is also a very scenic campus overlooking the Hudson River. Just over 4000 undergrads can major in many of the liberal arts or sciences with athletic training being a popular choice, but their strongest programs are probably in business and communications.
At $36,500, Marist’s price tag seems like a bargain for a private college. Admissions criteria have gotten more selective with a typical accepted student having better than a 3.1 gpa and more than 600 on each section of the SAT or 26 on the ACT.
I took the Marist tour last year playing the role of parent and remember being very impressed with their up to date technology and the general looks and condition of the facilities. I stopped in for a quick visit this week to pick up some new written materials. While there, I suffered a nasty paper cut but, fortunately, was able to carry on.
