Mercy College of Ohio (formerly Mercy College of Northwest Ohio), was founded as the Mercy School of Nursing in 1917 by the Sisters of Mercy. All of its academic programs remain in the health sciences field. In 2002, the College expanded to Youngstown, Ohio where an associate of science degree in nursing and a certificate in Ophthalmic Technology are offered.
