Employment Outcomes for School of Computer Science and Mathematics Graduate StudentsIn a recent survey of all graduate-level students enrolled in degree programs through Marist's School of Computer Science and Mathematics, 95% indicated they were employed full-time in the area of their degree, 3% indicated they were enrolled in further education full-time (doctoral program or additional coursework), and 2% indicated they were involved in other work outside of the discipline.

Brian Gormanly, MS '14

Brian Gormanly, MS '14Tell us about a project or course that was particularly meaningful to your professional development. 

I took a course in robotics, which had a profound effect on my career direction.  The main class project involved creating a pair of robots that had to work together to complete a task.  A large part of the effort was centered around enabling the robots to navigate their environment.  The work I did on the robots navigation algorithm was later reused and expanded in my career as an indoor navigation and locating algorithm.
