Merrimack College was founded in 1947 by the Order of St. Augustine at the invitation of then Archbishop of Boston, Richard Cushing. Located in North Andover, MA, within a half-hour drive north of Boston, Merrimack was founded to address the needs of retuning G.I.s who had served during World War II.
Vincent A McQuade, O.S.A., a native of the area from Lawrence, MA, was a driving force behind the establishment of Merrimack and served as its first president. During his 22 years in that position, he developed the college into a vital resource in the Merrimack Valley.
An independent, Catholic college, Merrimack embraces Augustinian values of community and the pursuit of truth by its mission to "enlighten minds, engage hearts and empower lives." Today, Merrimack offers undergraduate degrees in the fields of liberal arts, science, engineering and education. A master's program in education is offered as well.
