Merrimack College is a private college in the Roman Catholic tradition located in North Andover, Massachusetts.

The college was founded in 1947 by the Order of St. Augustine with an initial goal to educate World War II veterans. The college has grown to encompass 220 acres campus and almost 40 buildings. The library is named after Rev. Vincent A. McQuade, the founder of the college.

Merrimack College offers undergraduate degrees in the liberal arts, business, science and engineering, and education; it also offers graduate programs and a range of bachelor’s degree completion programs.

Throughout the curriculum, students can take advantage of hands-on opportunities including cooperative education and internships, research with faculty, study abroad and service learning.  And, because our curriculum emphasizes the liberal arts, graduates are prepared to be imaginative, analytical, aware of trends and historical perspectives, clear thinking, and adaptable to changes in their career.
