Virtual Visits
Although current public health challenges prevent us from hosting you for an in-person campus visit, you can still explore Mercyhurst and discover the Laker Life without leaving home! Our Virtual Campus Tour provides prospective students and families the opportunity to experience campus from the safety and comfort of their home. Our virtual campus visits give you the chance to experience the history, academic culture, hospitality, and spirit of community that animate life at Mercyhurst.

"As we look to the common good in taking this pause from our regular operations, I wish our entire Mercyhurst family – students, faculty, staff, administrators, alumni and friends – continued good health and wellness."
–President Michael T. Victor, J.D., LL.D.
