In 1944, the school became the four-year men's school Gannon College of Arts and Sciences, named in honor of the then-Bishop of Erie, John Mark Gannon, the driving force behind its opening and development. The college became coeducational in 1964 and gained university status in 1979〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gannon.edu/about/history/default.asp )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Roman Catholic Diocese of Erie )〕 The all-girls school Villa Maria College, which was founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1925,〔Note that Gannon University has adopted as its own the Villa Maria College's 1925 founding date.〕 merged with the university in 1989.
