APPLE DISTINGUISHED SCHOOLAs a technology-forward campus, we’ve been recognized for our culture of continuous innovation. Through Mobile Merrimack, iPads are integrated into learning — and every student gets one for free!

We encourage creativity and collaboration through campus spaces such as simulation labs, art galleries, engineering facilities, psychology sleep labs, graphic design studios and our Mucci Capital Markets Lab.

Uniquely MerrimackOur academic approach is not just about classes. It’s about experience and providing the personalized support and caring community you need to thrive.

We have more full-time faculty than most schools of our size, which means our classes are small. Our students benefit from personalized attention and interactive learning environments.

Our First Year Experience provides an environment of support and inclusion focusing on meeting new friends, finding independence, thinking about your future, enjoying time away from home and learning new things.

Every student has a personal Success Coach, cross-trained in academic support, career readiness, wellness and mental health. They are your point person to help with advising, career options, support and guidance.

The Merrimack experience focuses on smaller learning and social communities. From Greek life to Austin Scholars to our Honors Program, we match you with students (and friends) with similar interests and common experiences.

REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE. REAL-WORLD IMPACT.When it comes to career readiness, we believe getting outside of the classroom is key. At Merrimack, you’ll complement your coursework with experiences like guaranteed internships, co-ops, service learning or faculty-led research projects.

At the O’Brien Center for Career Development, you’ll work with your career advisor to create a customized career path. The ultimate goal? To help you acquire the skills, global perspectives and resume-boosters to land the job, or launch the start-up, you’ve always wanted.
