Ever since Mother Borgia Egan and the Mercy Sisters established Mercyhurst College, it has consistently sought to teach, to build, and to act with that sense of excellence and style which characterize quality in human society. It has developed a sense of human community on its campus, where teachers and learners reinforce one another in the learning process. These aims relate the Catholic heritage of the college to the needs of today in a vital manner that invests life and learning with a sense of spiritual strength and human accomplishment.
Mercyhurst emphasizes the role of the liberal arts. They provide a basis for sound career preparation and for many other life objectives. With this balance, the college supports a wide range of programs--from dance and art to geology and computer management systems--and also prides itself on its service to students. To this end, it strives constantly to become distinctive in the choice of its academic offerings. |
