College Courses

In conjunction with Mercyhurst College, we offer a special program for academically able students who wish to begin college course work or who want to pursue a subject in greater depth.

The high school and the college campuses are adjoined by a short walkway, so both schools are easily accessible to each other either by driving or walking.

MPS students can begin taking evening or summer classes for credit at Mercyhurst College at the end of their sophomore year. Our students are granted a very substantial tuition discount by Mercyhurst College for each course. The college grants full credit for such courses and sends a transcript of the student’s work to the college of his/her choice.

Seniors at Mercyhurst (SAM)

Through the SAM program students have the opportunity to complete their senior year at Mercyhurst Prep and their freshman year at Mercyhurst College simultaneously. Students who are recommended for the program work with both the high school and college counselors for selection of courses and may also be eligible for financial aid.
