For years, we’ve been preparing for a digital future by developing on-campus and virtual courses that leverage the latest technology.
We are one of a few New England colleges designated as an Apple Distinguished school recognizing our commitment to innovative teaching and learning as a high- tech, digitally agile institution.
Through Mobile Merrimack, all of our undergraduate students receive an iPad, allowing for extensive flexibility through a multitude of learning options in the classroom and online. You’ll receive your iPad during Fall Orientation.
