Military Science
The Military Science program at Mercyhurst is open to both male and female students who are interested in learning about the military and gaining leadership and team building experience from the premier leadership course in the nation!
Students may enroll in Military Science any trimester in their freshman and sophomore year. There is no obligation to the military to take the course. Students enrolled in the Military Science program receive instruction in the fundamentals of leadership with emphasis on self-discipline, integrity, confidence and responsibility. This enables the student to evaluate situations, make decisions, and develop those attributes considered essential to a leader in either the civilian or military community. Classes for freshmen, sophomores, and juniors are held at Mercyhurst; seniors attend classes at Gannon University. Military science classes are free of charge to all full-time students who earn academic credits that may be applied toward graduation requirements. Up to six of the academic credits earned through military science courses may be applied to the 120 credits needed for graduation from Mercyhurst College.
Students who desire to earn a commission as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army, U.S. Army Reserve, or Army National Guard upon graduation may contract on scholarship or non-scholarship through the military science program.
