Admissions & Aid
Gwynedd Mercy University welcomes students of all beliefs and backgrounds to our 160-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.
A Few Things to Know About Us
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.)
We’re currently test optional! Applying for Fall 2022? You don’t have to submit SAT or ACT scores with your application. You can if you’d like to, but it is not required.
A GMercyU education is within reach, financially. We’re proud that 100% of first-time, full-time students received some form of financial aid (2020-2021).
For master’s degrees, doctorate degrees, and accelerated programs, visit our Graduate Admissions page or our Online/Accelerated page.
Whether it be our colleagues or our professors, everyone is here to help each other. There has never been a moment where I held back on asking a question or telling a story or showing up at my professors’ offices, whether about school or personal advice or anything – they are there to help us. There’s never a day that we don’t feel that.” —Mackenzie Iocona ’20, Criminal Justice
