Marist College is a private liberal arts college in Poughkeepsie, New York. In 2017, the U.S. News & World Report ranked the college 9^th in the category “Regional Universities (North).”

History 

In 1905, members of the Marist Brothers went to the Mid-Hudson Valley to establish the first Marist house of studies in the U.S. They named the property and building “Saint Ann’s Hermitage” to honor Champagnat’s Hermitage in France. The school trained young men for a life of “study, work, prayer, and service.”

In 1929, it was accredited by the state to offer a variety of degrees in the arts and sciences. At this time, the training center had been transformed into the Marist Normal Training School and offered college-level courses. In 1946, New York granted the institution an official four-year college charter, and the school was renamed Marian College. Women were admitted to classes in 1968.

Ownership of the college was passed on in 1969 to the Marist College Educational Corporation due to the institution’s rapid growth and because laws regulated federal aid to religiously affiliated educational institutions in the state.
