“The liberal arts education I received at Marist really prepared me for what I’m doing now...I’m a firm believer in the liberal arts, so it was important to me to have that type of undergraduate experience." - Bernadette Hogan '17, English and Philosophy major, Spanish and Theatre minor; Political Reporter, The New York Post

A Message from the Dean
When students and their families visit the College, I often suggest that the best way to understand the liberal arts at Marist is to take a walk around Fontaine Hall, the award-winning building that houses our school.
