The University Honors Program offers students an enriched intellectual collegiate experience, both in and out of the classroom. Honors students enjoy challenging course work, an engaging community of like-minded peers, smaller classes, and opportunities to enhance leadership and professional skills. The program confers the prestige of graduating with 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× Honors, the highest academic accolade given by 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× University, on those who satisfy the program requirements.
The 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× University Honors Program director invites qualified high school seniors to apply to the Honors Program. If you feel you should have received an invitation, or have a question regarding the application process, please contact Joe Chiprean at jchiprean@mercyhurst.edu or 814-824-3364.
Students already studying at the university and students transferring from other institutions are welcome to discuss participation with the director, Dr. Justin Ross.
