WHY STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & POLICY AT MARIST?
You will find small classes with easy access to faculty both in and outside of class. Our location on the banks of the Hudson River provides ample opportunity for aquatic research and for use as a field site for class use. There are numerous streams and thousands of acres of accessible open space to support classroom teaching and provide sites for student research projects. Marist is only thirty minutes from the Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, New York, where two dozen scientists carry out cutting edge ecological research. You will also have the opportunity to learn how to use sophisticated laboratory instrumentation that is often available only to graduate students at larger institutions. Students get hands-on experience in the operation of these instruments and are encouraged to undertake independent studies involving their use.
