A Hudson Valley college has moved up the ranks and is now one of the Top 10 "Best Colleges" in the Northern United States.

'U.S. News & World Report’ has released their top ten list for 2017 and Marist College has made the cut. According to the school they moved up 4 spots, from number 13 to number 9 on the top ten  “Best Regional Universities” in the Northern U.S.

Marist says the ranking is one of the most influential and ranks the top American colleges and universities, a.k.a the best of the best. The rankings are determined by assessing a variety of factors such as academic quality, class size graduation and retention rates and more.

As a Marist Alum I can see why the school continues to rank among the best schools in the country. Congrats Red Foxes!
