Undergraduate Curriculum
Merrimack College prepares students to thrive as productive, responsible citizens in the increasingly complex, competitive, and diverse world of the 21st century. Our curriculum provides the knowledge and skills that a well-educated person requires to succeed personally and professionally in an ever-changing and challenging global environment. Merrimack College graduates are prepared both for productive careers and for global citizenship. Our students learn to take responsibility for themselves, for others, and for the world.
Whether they major in accounting or fine arts, chemistry or psychology, engineering or English, all students gain a common educational foundation by completing a General Education program in which they explore essential knowledge about the world through the varied lenses of the Humanities, the Sciences, and the Social Sciences.
- Science students read literature
- Business students learn about gender and culture
- English and Fine Arts majors study the scientific method
As they progress through the General Education program, students take courses designed to develop their ability to communicate effectively, think critically, understand and respect cultural differences, exercise ethical responsibility, reflect on their experiences, and take charge of their own intellectual, creative, personal, and spiritual growth. Individual development and learning are enhanced by small classes, close interaction with faculty, and active learning both inside and outside the classroom.
