Deciding to transfer to Marist was so easy -- everyone here cares so much about you. Marist is a place that’s really never short of opportunities!

I wanted to do something that has more of a meaning, more of an outcome. When you look back at your life, you realize, it’s not how much money you have, it’s how you influenced change.

Computer Science and Cybersecurity Major

Of all the colleges I applied to and was accepted to, Marist really checked off all the boxes. I loved the campus, the ITS program was perfect for me, and I liked that Marist had a liberal arts focus–I didn’t want to go to a school where everything was 100 percent tech and engineering.

Presenting at IBM TechConnect put the research that myself and my co-workers were doing at the Marist-IBM Joint Study into a larger context. Whatever your goal is in coming to Marist for computer science (whether it be to go into the workforce or to do research), there is something here for you.

Information Technology and Systems Major, Computer Science Minor

Being able to present our work at IBM’s TechConnect competition was an amazing experience. I felt a sense of accomplishment and deep appreciation for both the Marist-IBM Joint Study and individuals who work with us.

Computer Science Major, Concentration Software Development, Information Technology, Information Science, and Games and Emerging Media Minors

I secured an internship with the software company, Workday, located outside of San Francisco. That kind of internship experience helped me to realize that I really enjoy research more than I do at a regular kind of desk job.

At Marist, I got the opportunity to work for the Data Science department as a lead AI student scientist. I like to think that everything happens for a reason. Now, I am working side by side with faculty developing an AI powered chatbot with state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing (NLP) skills which will ultimately be incorporated to a robot who will serve as a robot assistant for Marist.

Dual Major Data Science & Analytics and Economics, Minors in Computer Science and Mathematics

The department of Computer Science and Mathematics has provided me with so many opportunities that I am not sure I would have been able to have elsewhere. From working in the IBM Joint Study during my freshman summer, to completing independent projects with excellent teachers, getting data center experience under my belt in Hancock and even on the main floor at IBM, or simply spending time in the Hancock atrium conversing with faculty and peers.
