Merrimack College, President Richard Santagati says they teach knowledge and values and he attributes their ranking in the top 25 percent of colleges and universities in the Northeastern United States to that.

"It's why Merrimack College graduates go on to such successful and rewarding careers,'' he noted. "You will reap the benefit of strong nationally recognised academic programmes and grow in intellect and spirit, and find the tools to make a success of your life.'' According to Mr. Santagati, among the faculty are visionary teachers and outstanding scholars.

"You'll be given a voice in interactive classrooms where teachers emphasise the big questions and lead students to discover the answers for themselves,'' he pointed out. "And you'll find it easy to get involved in an active campus community that reflects our Augustinian heritage of care for the individual soul.''
