Mercyhurst North East was a two-year Catholic liberal arts college in North East, Pennsylvania. It was a branch campus of Mercyhurst University. The college was established in 1991 when Mercyhurst College purchased the former St. Mary's College from Redemptorist Fathers, a property first established as Lake Shore Seminary in 1870. Mercyhurst North East offered one-year certificates and two-year associate degrees in a variety of majors. The school campus closed at the end of the 2020–2021 term, consolidating all programs into the larger Mercyhurst campus in Erie.^[1]

As of the 2009–2010 academic year, the school enrolled more than 1,060 students, both resident and commuter. The school featured many athletic teams, including men's and women's basketball, wrestling, lacrosse, cross country, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, baseball and softball.
