Marist University today announced a major new Science and Health Initiative anchored by a state-of-the-art academic facility, marking a strategic $100 million investment to strengthen Marist’s role in preparing the next generation of scientists and healthcare leaders.
The Science and Health Initiative is a long-term strategy to address growing societal and workforce needs by:
- Strengthening existing academic programs and launching new fields of study
- Attracting exceptional students and faculty
- Investing in modern facilities to advance team-based learning, research, and discovery
Building on Marist’s distinctive “and” not “or” educational model – which combines a strong liberal arts foundation with hands-on, career-focused preparation – the Initiative aims to provide students with both deep technical expertise and the analytical, communication, and leadership skills needed in rapidly evolving scientific and clinical environments.
