Campus Visits and Events
In-Person and Virtual Campus Visits
In-person individual campus visits for you and your family are the best way to get to know the spirit of Mercyhurst, offering a customized campus experience that fits your interests and goals. During your one-on-one visit, you and your family will have the option to tour campus with a Student Ambassador and meet with an admissions counselor. Campus visits are available all day, Monday through Friday. Individual meetings with an admissions representative that do not include a campus tour can also be scheduled.
Virtual campus visits give you the chance to experience the history, academic culture, hospitality, and spirit of community that animate life at Mercyhurst. During a Virtual Visit, you will be able to interact with a student Ambassador, meet with an admissions counselor to discuss the application and financial aid process.

Virtual Campus Tour
Our Campus
The only thing that does our campus justice is our campus. The English Gothic elements of Old Main, designed by prominent Philadelphia architect F. Ferdinand Durang, are carried throughout our academic buildings, athletic facilities and student residences, effecting an ideal setting for university life. As you walk under the Gothic arches and across the open greens and brick courtyards, you’ll find places on campus for everything from quiet study to a pickup game of Frisbee with friends.
