Mission:

The mission of the School of Science is to encourage intellectual development in the natural, physical, and health sciences and to instill an inquisitive nature, lifelong quest for knowledge and responsibility to be ethical and productive member of our global community.

Values Statement:

The School of Science aims to instill in our students a scientific, evidence-based approach to understanding the natural world and to provide students with the knowledge and skills required for placement in graduate school or professional positions. In our majors and minors, students gain scientific literacy through learning content knowledge, collecting and analyzing data, applying scientific principles to practice as a scientist or clinician and through developing excellent written and oral communication skills

In addition, we recognize and cherish our role in the general education of Marist undergraduate students through our responsibilities within the Core Liberal Studies program. It is our expectation that, through our contribution to the Core, all Marist College students will be able to think critically, listen thoughtfully, and make informed decisions in matters that have a scientific dimension.
