Gwynedd Mercy College is a private liberal arts co-educational institution located in Gwynedd Valley, Pennsylvania. Established in 1948 as a junior college by the Sisters of Mercy, it was re-chartered in 1963 and became a four-year liberal arts college.
With a curriculum that is centered on the teachings of Christ and an intensive liberal arts core, the college is able to pursue its mission to provide an atmosphere of learning that combines professional competency with the traditional Mercy belief of service to the community.
