Do you have any tips for prospective students?

make sure that you want a small college feel. mercyhurst has plenty to offer, but is by far not a large campus. get your applications in early, and don't be afraid to call admissions for help.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

the difficulty of classes ranges depending upon major, but mercyhurst's trimester system keeps students on topic and busy. by focusing on less classes, for a shorter period of time, students must develop strong study habits.
