This fall, Mercy welcomed the largest freshman class in its history to its campuses. The 2023–2024 class of nearly 1,200 students represents a 28% increase over the previous year, fueled by record applications and campus visits, and reflects the University’s significant programmatic and campus improvements.
"This year’s record-breaking freshman class is just one of the magnificent changes happening with our new university status,” said Susan L. Parish, Ph.D., M.S.W., president of Mercy University. “We have ambitious goals to redefine higher education, and we’re delighted that so many see the value of attending Mercy to pursue their degrees and jump into their careers."
