The College offers both undergraduate and graduate programs. In 1978, the Board of Trustees approved a mission statement that notes the nature and purpose of the College, and in 1994 it was revised as follows: College Misericordia, a co-educational Catholic college sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy of Dallas, is committed to providing quality education to its students and to shaping its educational programs and policies to express the founding Sisters' values and attitudes of mercy, service, justice and hospitality. The College welcomes individuals of all faiths. The academic development of each student at the undergraduate level is ensured by the College's commitment to provide a learning experience that cultivates higher order thinking skills through the integration of liberal arts and professional studies. To emphasize academic excellence and to develop critical thinking, all undergraduate curricula provide a common liberal arts base, the objectives of which are further developed in the major areas of study. The student's educational program prepares him or her for productive careers and continued personal and professional growth.
