The Mission of Marist College reads, "Marist's dedication to academic excellence and the pursuit of higher values is complemented by a commitment to serve the regional community as a whole."
To this end Marist is continually looking for opportunities to bring the quality of a Marist education to more and more students in the Mid Hudson Valley and beyond. In 1983 Marist opened its first full-scale extension site in Fishkill, NY.The site serve as a hub for adult students seeking undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs to challenge themselves academically and have the full range of student services normally only available on main campus in Poughkeepsie. In the more recent past Marist has developed partnerships with community colleges in Ulster, Sullivan and Orange counties to offer specific programs.
