Overview
Founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1950, Mercy College became a
four-year college offering programs leading to the baccalaureate degree
in 1961. The College was accredited by the Middle States Association’s
Commission on Higher Education in 1968. In the next half-decade, Mercy
College boldly set a course for its future with a series of actions
including declaring itself independent, nonsectarian and coeducational.
In addition, it doubled the size of the existing physical plant and
initiated the first of many community outreach efforts.Mercy College believes that no matter where you're from, or what you look like, you deserve access to an education.
