This week is definitely a week to live up the dream of Mercyhurst and enjoy the rest of the limited time we have. Pictures and updates on the events are sure to come in future blogs!

Mercyhurst University FAQ's

It's Official: Mercyhurst College is now Mercyhurst University

IT'S OFFICIAL! Mercyhurst College is now Mercyhurst University, which was just recently announced this afternoon by President, Dr. Thomas Gamble! I just want to say how great of a feeling it is to know that my class, Class of 2012, will be the first to walk across the stage with a diploma that states Mercyhurst University. It's definitely a great moment for the institution and has many things to look forward to. Dr. Gamble has stated that the change has been in the works for a couple years, but we've finally reached the goal to become university status just yesterday (January 24th) when the Pennsylvania Secretary of Education signed the document that made it official.

There is a lot of press that is going on about the big announcement today, but I wanted to make sure that all future students know that when you come through the gates, Mercyhurst University will be here to greet you and make sure that your four years as an undergraduate student will be successful. There are many opportunities headed the way of prospective students most definitely!
