Academics

Merrimack College is a selective, independent college in the Catholic, Augustinian tradition whose mission is to enlighten minds, engage hearts and empower lives.

At Merrimack College, the liberal arts tradition is a gateway to a thousand different paths in life.

  • We build character, as well as intellect.
  • We cultivate engaged learners.
  • We believe that school is about more than academics.

This is the liberal arts at Merrimack College - a program of study that helps you see how your interests connect to your career goals - and how academics and the working world fit together.  Whichever of a thousand paths you may choose in life, the liberal arts will prepare you for great success!
