Gwynedd Mercy University welcomes students of all beliefs and backgrounds to our 145-acre campus just outside of Philadelphia. Our dedicated faculty and close-knit community will propel you toward a meaningful career, and you’ll leave GMercyU as a Distinctive Mercy Graduate — ready to make a difference, for yourself and others.

Beginning Your GMercyU Journey

We’re on a rolling admissions calendar. That means you once you apply, we’ll tell you if you are accepted in as little as two weeks. (Future nursing students may need to wait a bit longer.) 
No test scores are required! Applying for Fall 2025? Standardized test scores are not required for admission or considered as part of the admissions process.
A GMercyU education is within reach, financially. We’re proud that 100% of full-time undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid.*
*Does not include second-degree programs.

 

Gwynedd will never let you fail. The level of support here is unreal. The professors genuinely want you to succeed, and the small class sizes mean you’re not just a name on a roster. You’re a person with goals, struggles, and a story that matters.
