This is Merrimack

For more than 60 years Merrimack has been a leader in practice-oriented Catholic higher education that integrates liberal arts-based education, professional education, active learning, Augustinian values and principles, and off-campus experiences. Students receive a dynamic and comprehensive education equal to the challenges and demands of the 21st century.

Merrimack is a college of remarkable academic vitality and educational purpose, characterized by high academic standards taught by a dedicated faculty, and directed by an allegiance to the profound benefits and inspiration of the Catholic intellectual tradition.

We are taking bold, innovative steps to build on our history and renew our commitment to leadership in higher education.  This commitment to excellence in higher education informs every academic program and facet of campus life, and finds expression in all dimensions of Merrimack’s traditional and performing arts, and across the remarkable variety of residential activities and events at the college. Moreover, Merrimack has always been a pioneer in connecting the classroom and the real world. Merrimack’s active learning programs provide students with hands-on experience through internships, co-ops, service learning, and collaborative student-faculty research.

Immersive, rigorous, built on the core values of Augustinian tradition and a primary philosophy of engagement in the world – Merrimack provides an educational experience fusing exceptional academics, innovative curricula, hands-on career experiences and one-on-one mentorship.

As Merrimack College reshapes and transforms its curriculum and community of scholars to meet the demands of the world, Merrimack is keenly aware that our vision of a liberal arts, business, and sciences and engineering education must reach out and embrace the world beyond our transformed campus. On an important level this outreach finds expression in the articulation of Merrimack’s brand.
