A Few Things to Know About Us

College is an investment, and we offer support for your investment — 100% of full-time undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid.*

You’ll get a strong return on that investment — 97% of 2023 GMercyU grads were employed or in graduate school within 6 months, according to survey respondents. And, GMercyU ranks in the top 6% nationally for 10-year earnings, according to Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce.

Hands-on learning plays an integral role in the GMercyU experience — 100% of first-time, full-time students participate in some form of real-world experience, whether internships, clinicals, student teaching, research, or other opportunities.

This is the university for you if you enjoy small class sizes, a personalized education, and a caring environment and community.
