Bachelor [Liberal Studies] From Mercyhurst University

Mercyhurst University curriculum is grounded in the liberal arts.??Why does that matter? ?Consider some of the many differences in student outcomes for attendees of liberal arts institutions versus student attending a regional or research public university:

Small class sizes, low faculty-to-student ratios, and intimate campus communities ensure students persist to graduation. ?Students who attend a private college are more than 50% more likely to graduate college in 4 years (59% vs. 38%). ?Moreover, first-generation students (those whose parents did not attend college) are much more likely to graduate college than their counterparts at public universities (70% vs. 57%). ?On average, students from private colleges graduate 10 months sooner (two semesters) than do students from public universities.
