<p>Son is interested in the video game design concentration... any info or opinions to help him decide? He is accepted for Fall 2011 w/merit scholarship. Also has other good offers but at more technical schools.</p>
<p>From what I’ve read, their computer department is very good. Marist has some kind of deal with IBM, which is very close to the college, so the school is very tech savy.</p>
<p>I will warn you though, that the school is just not that big on math and science from what I saw. Even one of the science professors admitted that its one of their smaller schools. I still think that you’ll receive amazing opportunities though.</p>
<p>My son was at the Open House for Accepted Students today, and he was thrilled to see the new Hancock Center. This is where they will have all computer science classes, and he said it’s AMAZING. Marist is written up quite often in regards to computer education, especially lately because of “Watson” (the IBM created computer that played jeopardy.) They are also in the forefront of “cloud” computing. Don’t think you can go wrong here!</p>
