Marist offers a great education at low cost and is very flexible with the curriculum. The professors are very helpful and the community is supportive. It’s a small school and that means better teacher-to-student interaction, which is very important for graduate studies. Additionally, the accreditations and ranking, the beautiful Hudson River Valley and its proximity to New York City, made Marist the perfect fit for me.

Every course was meaningful and helped significantly to grow my skills. To be specific, Systems Design, Information Systems Policy, Project Management, and the MBA courses were exceptionally helpful for gaining insights. I am now managing International Sales operations and involved in information technology operations for Keeton Industries in India.
