The Marist Core

 It's not just what you know. It's how you know.

 The Marist Core engages you in the active inquiry essential to addressing 21^st-century challenges.
 From the First Year Seminar to the senior-level Capping course, you will integrate different areas of
 study, exchange ideas with faculty and your peers, and sharpen your abilities as a writer, researcher,
 and speaker. As indicated in the overview of the curriculum, the Marist Core offers you the opportunity
 to strategically shape your own educational experience.
 
 The Marist Core fosters a strong sense of community and values awareness at the College and
 reflects our commitment to developing your intellect, character, and skills. We look forward to seeing
 what you make of it.

A Message from Vice President of Academic Administration/ Dean of Faculty    Dr. Thomas S. Wermuth   The 21st century has infused significant changes in the global, social, and economic   landscape. As Marist educators, we must ensure our students are fully equipped to   meet these challenges as they complete their degrees. The new Marist Core provides   significant opportunities for deep learning and intellectual engagement while helping   students develop practical skills necessary to succeed in today’s complex world.
