Important Graduate Application Timelines
Once you decide to pursue a graduate degree at Mercy, your next step is to complete your application. We offer rolling admissions for many graduate programs. Here's what that means — our admissions team evaluates applications as potential students submit them, rather than waiting for a hard deadline.
Keep in mind that not all Mercy programs have rolling admissions. Graduate programs that have specific application timelines include:
- Physician Assistant
- Communication Disorders
- Physical Therapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Family Nurse Practitioner
If you want to apply for one of these programs, you must meet the application deadlines and submit your paperwork to the correct portal to complete the application process.

Making Mercy your home as you pursue your graduate degree opens up a world of possibilities. Whether you're entering a graduate program right after finishing your bachelor's or took time off between degrees, we have plenty of tools to help you succeed.

At Mercy, we offer tuition remission and community partnership programs. In simple terms, tuition remission means you receive a discount on your tuition if your employer or union has partnered with Mercy for this exclusive benefit.
