Gwynedd Mercy University campus
The moment you step foot on campus you feel it. Mercy. It’s who we are, and it’s why we do what we do.

At GMercyU, you'll see and be seen, hear and be heard, know and be known. We are large enough to offer the academic, athletic, and real-world experiences you're looking for, but small enough that professors know your name. Here you’ll find a caring and supportive environment with a deep commitment to making a difference — for yourself and for others.

How to Apply
  • Complete an online application
  • Submit an official transcript from each of your high schools, colleges, and/or universities previously attended.
  • Some programs require students to submit at least one letter of recommendation and complete an admissions interview if they choose not to submit standardized test scores
Please refer to our website for more details!

Once our Admissions Counselors receive your completed application, you will receive an admissions decision in about two weeks.*

*Nursing and Health Professions applications may take longer to review.
