My son is a freshman in the School of Management and is an Accounting/Finance major. He chose Marist over Binghamton, Fordham, UCONN, Pitt, UMASS, all of which have highly rated Business Programs and whose reputations currently are better. That being said Marist is on the ascendancy from an overall quality standpoint and one of if not the best programs is their School of Management. Our son two months in to his decision is absolutely ecstatic and is doing very well and learning a lot. Coming out of Marist with a good GPA and having the opportunities presented to him there will put him in a much better position than going to a “higher rated” or more prestigious school that he was not a fit in and was unhappy about attending. This is our 4th college student (the other 3 graduated from Miami of Ohio) and at this point in his college life he is the happiest of all of them. You will get similar feedback from other students and their parents almost universally. Good luck with your decision.
