A college education is one of the most
important investments you will make.
It’s an investment of time, effort and money.
So, make the most of your investment at
Mercyhurst College.
Mercyhurst alumni will tell you that
four years on “The Hill” will be the most
challenging and rewarding four years of
your life. That’s because Mercyhurst is more
than just a college. It’s an experience. It’s a
way of life.
Mercyhurst is not only a place where you’ll
get a top-notch education to prepare you
for professional and educational success, but
also a place where you’ll discover who you
are and what you’re meant to be. It’s a place
you’ll be immersed in culture, knowledge
and new and exciting experiences. It’s a
place where you’ll be part of an extended
family and make lifelong friends.
At Mercyhurst you’ll be challenged.
You’ll be rewarded. And you’ll see that
“This is the Place” for you.
As construction was finishing on Old Main in 1926, a city-wide strike stopped all work. In true Mercy tradition, the Sisters of Mercy in full habit, finished painting, cleaning and even laying the slate roof (pictured right). Old Main and its original roof still stand proudly on campus as the hallmark of the college.

All About
The college was founded by the Sisters of
Mercy who worked at the college and in
the community to make it a better place.
Eight-five years later we’re still doing what
they started—we don’t just learn, we do
stuff. All Mercyhurst students are involved
outside of the classroom. Whether it’s
in community service, athletics, clubs
or organizations, our students are busy
making a difference in the world. This is
what makes the Mercyhurst experience
unique. The world is our classroom.
Hands-on, hard working,
engaged, personal, Mercy.
That’s us. That’s Mercyhurst.
“It’s so much bigger than me. It’s about being a better me, a better college, a better community, a better world. And, it’s not just a few people, it’s everyone.”
Louise W., Erie, Pa. Music Education major

“Mercyhurst is an institution
on the move. The reason it’s
on the move is that we are all
investing in it. We are investing
talent, time and treasure to
move this institution into a
future alive with possibilities,
and these investments have
translated into some very
significant accomplishments.”

Experienced. Relevant. Approachable.
A mix you don’t find often. But, at Mercyhurst you’ll
experience some of the nation’s top professors who
meet these qualifications. Most classes have fewer
than 25 students and all undergraduate classes are
taught exclusively by faculty (not teaching assistants).
Don’t be surprised though if your professor just
received a grant to study Mars from NASA, was
featured in The New York Times, was CNN’s expert
guest or presented their paper at your future
profession’s national conference and then teaches
your class the next day. It happens.
With freshman interdisciplinary courses, every
student is guaranteed the opportunity to interact
and take at least one class with our school’s best of
the best. These unique classes also give students an
opportunity to experience three or four areas of study
available at the college in one course.

Faculty
Robert J. Heibel, M.A. Executive Director, Mercyhurst Institute of Intelligence Studies Robert J. Heibel brings to Mercyhurst the remarkable experience of a 25-year veteran of the
FBI. As the Bureau’s deputy chief of counterterrorism, he saw firsthand the need for qualified intelligence analysts to serve in guarding this country’s national security. He developed a program to produce such analysts nearly two decades ago and, since then, it has evolved into the world’s largest full-time academic enterprise educating intelligence analysts for national security, law enforcement and private business. Intelligence studies students at Mercyhurst benefit not only from Heibel’s expertise, but from an outstanding faculty of men and women, many of whom have had careers in the intelligence field. As educators, they bring real-world lessons to the classroom and pave the way for their students to achieve successful careers of their own.
David Dausey, Ph.D. Public Health
Dr. David Dausey, the first-ever tenured professor of public health at Mercyhurst and director of a public health initiative being rolled-out
over the next several years, earned a bachelor’s degree in sportsmedicine from Mercyhurst and master’s and doctoral degrees in epidemiology and public health from Yale University. He later undertook postgraduate training in higher education management and leadership at Harvard University. Dr. Dausey, who previously served as senior director of Health Programs and Initiatives at Heinz College of Carnegie Mellon University, is an internationally sought-after expert who consults for Rand Corporation’s Global Health Division and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He has also worked closely with senior health officials from more than 20 countries and every region of the U.S., authored more than 70 articles and led major research projects. In addition to his roles at Mercyhurst, Dr. Dausey will also retain his role as an honorary Distinguished Service Professor at Carnegie Mellon.

Though you’ll love Mercyhurst (and want to stay
forever we’re sure), we also know you’re coming here
on your way to ‘bigger and better places’—like your
career for instance. So, we start with the end in mind.
We don’t want you to leave here with nothing on your
resume. I mean, what would you talk about in your
job or grad school interview? [Awkward!] So, we do
things and provide you with experiences to fill that
resume up and get you on your way to the next stop.

Student-Faculty Research There you are side-by-side a faculty member who is god-like in his or her given
field working on research that will be presented at a national conference or better yet, be part of research that actually makes a change in the world.
Oh,andyou’reafreshman.
Technology Lots of schools have really cool equipment and technology. But the
undergraduate students never get to use it. Not at Mercyhurst. When our faculty show you the new DNA genetic scanner, you actually get to hold it,
push the button, learn how to use it and then use it in your research.
Capstone Ever hear of “Bob”? Bob goes to college, pays his tuition and graduates
onlytosay“Ilearnedabsolutelynothing”.OMG.Whatifyouboughta car, paid for it, and they gave you um, nothing? That’s just not
right. So, in your senior year, you demonstrate to the faculty (and to yourself ) that you’re ready to leave the proverbial nest. That you’re
ready to get out there and do your thing. [Academic speak: The capstone is a professional demonstration of your knowledge acquired to date *yawn*]. What you actually do depends on
your major, but each capstone is something the people who are already working in your field actually do at the entry-level.
Plus, along the way, you’ve been working with real clients, doing real-world projects. Put that on your résumé!
Internships & Externships Here’s where you go into the field and try out
what you’ve learned. They love you. You love them. And, you live happily ever after. Well, maybe you

give you a job. Regardless of how it happens, it’s the experience of a lifetime.
“Being able to actually write and present a strategic communication plan to a real business helped me feel prepared to start my career. That’s why Mercyhurst’s placement rate is so high— we have built our resumes with real experience or research and employers or graduate schools can see that.”Courtney O., Buffalo, N.Y.

We have great outcomesEven in a year when jobs were hard to find, 95% of our students secured jobs or were enrolled in grad school within one year. (The national average is about 75%
according to the National Association for College and Employers study.)

Applied Forensic Sciences Anthropology/Archaeology Biochemistry Biology
Computer Systems Elementary Education History Interior Design
Mathematics Music Education Sportsmedicine and more!

a career fair on campus attended by more than 100 regional and national employers.
Today, more than 15,700 Mercyhurst

Student-Initiated, Student-Funded Green Roof During the summer of 2010, Mercyhurst
installed a “green roof ” over the ceramics
lab in Zurn Hall. The Class of 2010 helped
fund the roof as their Senior Gift to the
college, and additional funding came from
the Green Energy Fee paid by all students.
Students enrolled in the sciences now have
a living laboratory to learn about plant life,
soils and the hydrological cycle.
