Founded by the Sisters of Mercy of Merion in 1948, Gwynedd Mercy University has a long history of helping students make a difference—in their lives and in the lives of others. GMercyU is shaped by our Catholic identity as well as our Mercy heritage and charism, with programs designed to prepare students to lead productive lives of deep meaning and value.

Through a commitment to an education rich in the liberal arts, Gwynedd Mercy University students are encouraged to explore multiple perspectives as they deepen their base of knowledge, develop their critical thinking and communication skills, and prepare to take their place in the world. On the road to becoming Distinctive Mercy Graduates, we offer a warm, welcoming and inclusive community in which each student can learn and grow.
