At Merrimack College, the liberal arts tradition is a gateway to a thousand different paths in life. Let us get you started on your journey.
OVERVIEW
The School of Liberal Arts encompasses the humanities and the social sciences, each of which includes a range of disciplines distinguished by their focus of inquiry and by their perspectives and methodologies.
Here, your learning will be alive, active and energized, whether it’s spirited classroom discussions, a service-learning project, study abroad, internships or co-op placements.
undergraduate Departments
Within our multiple academic departments, the School of Liberal Arts offers a number of majors and minors across a broad spectrum of the humanities and social sciences.
Studies reveal that 20 to 50 percent of undergraduates come to college not knowing what they want to major in. That makes so-called undeclareds one of the largest majors on campus. To assist these students, Merrimack has created the academic advising program Discover. We’ll meet beginning your first semester on campus and set you on a path to discover the major that’s right for you!
Merrimack is pleased to welcome 14 new faculty members to the College, across a wide range of disciplines and specialties in line with Merrimack’s mission, growth and continued pursuit of knowledge.
Director of Campus Music Activities Hugh Hinton is the winner of the 2021 Choir Master Prize in choral conducting. This award is given each year to the person who earns the top score in the National Choir Master certification examination.
