Mary Immaculate College (Irish: Coláiste Mhuire gan Smál), also known as Mary I, is a college of education and liberal arts, founded in 1898. It became academically linked to the University of Limerick in 1991. The college has approximately 2,500 students and 250 staff.[1] It is located to the south of the city, roughly a fifteen minute walk from the Limerick bus and train station.
The college was established as a dedicated primary teacher training college by Bishop Edward Thomas O'Dwyer, Roman Catholic Bishop of Limerick.[2] From 1974 to 1991 Mary I was a recognised college of the National University of Ireland, since when the degrees have been accredited by the University of Limerick.[3]
The role of the college was expanded in 1992 to offfer a Liberal Arts programme, while continuing to run both undergraduate and, more recently, postgraduate courses leading to primary education practice with a Roman Catholic ethos. The college has also developed resources for masters and doctoral research postgraduate programmes in a variety of liberal arts disciplines. The college also offers an Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) degree. About 15% of students on campus are mature students, a relatively high figure.
The Arts subject currently offered at degree level are English, French, Irish, Geography, German, History, Leánn Dúchais (first year only), Mathematics and Computer Studies, Media and Communication Studies, Music, Philosophy, Psychology, and Theology and Religious Studies.
The college also has a radio station, Wired FM, Limerick's only student station which it runs in cooperation with another Limerick college, Limerick Institute of Technology.
