Join us for our Technology Open House to learn more about our technology majors, including Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Data Science & Analytics, Game Design and Programming, and Information Technology and Systems. You'll have the opportunity to hear directly from the Dean of the School of Computer Science and Mathematics, and mingle with our faculty and students in our breakout tours that showcase our facilities.
While providing a common foundation in computing and business, the Information Technology Systems major branches out into two concentrations geared toward specific career goals.
As an Information Technology and Systems student at Marist, you’ll be learning from top minds in the industry who have decades of experience. Wherever you want to go in your career, your faculty have been there and created a path for your success. Below are a few of the faculty in this program, or you can view all Computing Technology faculty >
Having worked at IBM in Poughkeepsie, his career included roles in hardware engineering, process development, and both mechanical and industrial engineering. He also has extensive software experience in a variety of programming languages and was responsible for architecting and coding two worldwide logistics applications.
Prof. Lauría has worked in the IS/IT industry for 20+ years, serving as a technology consultant to IBM, Microsoft, ExxonMobil, Reuters, Hewlett Packard, GE Global Research, and the World Bank among other global corporations. He has also been the recipient of the Marist Board of Trustees Distinguished Teaching Award.
Dr. Matheus focuses her research on systems analysis and design, human computer interaction, data and information quality, data analytics, and project management. She was the recipient of The National Society of Leadership and Success award for Excellence in Teaching and is also the Director of the Honors program at Marist.
At Marist, we believe that opportunities for experiential learning are essential to a well-rounded education, and the Information Technology and Systems programs are no exception. Whether you participate in the Marist/IBM Joint Study program or take exciting and unique hands-on elective courses, there are always opportunities to learn by doing. For example, students in the Robotics course solve real world robotics problems using techniques including reactive control, PID (Proportional, Integral, Derivative) turning, and localization and path planning by implementing a potential fields algorithm.
96% of graduates from the School of Computer Science and Mathematics are employed or in graduate school within 6 months of graduation.
Employment in computer and information technology occupations is projected to grow 11 percent from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for computer and information technology occupations is $88,240.
The main difference between computer science and information technology is their focus areas. Computer Science concentrates on developing software, algorithms, and computing systems, while Information Technology focuses on implementing and managing technology solutions to support businesses and organizations.
At Marist University, the Information Technology and Systems major integrates computing technology with the business world. Students develop expertise in both areas and can select one of two concentrations to align with their career goals: the Information Technology Concentration or the Information Systems Concentration. By acquiring skills in these fields, students are well-prepared for the development and implementation of information systems and technologies across various organizational settings.
Marist cultivates the intellectual growth and well-being of its students through unique and personalized combinations of coursework and experience in and out of the classroom. These experiences provide valuable personal growth and occupational expertise to reflect students' individual passions.
