Misericordia University is situated in Dallas, Pennsylvania, a suburban community in the Wyoming Valley region of northeastern Pennsylvania, approximately two hours from both Philadelphia and New York City. Originally founded in 1924 by the Sisters of Mercy as a women's college, Misericordia transitioned to coeducational status in the 1970s and achieved university designation in 2007. The 123-acre campus combines traditional Georgian colonial architecture with modern facilities, featuring both historic and contemporary academic buildings nestled in the Back Mountain area. The university maintains a focus on health sciences and professional programs, with particularly strong offerings in nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and business administration. Students are required to live on campus for their first two years, with housing options including traditional residence halls and apartment-style accommodations.
