The graduate programs at Misericordia University combine a sound academic base with the necessary professional skills one needs to succeed in their chosen profession. Graduates of our master’s degree programs learn leadership skills and are mindful of their responsibility to serve others through their professional and personal lives.
Several of our graduate degrees are primarily offered in traditional formats for full-time students. Students enrolling in these five-year, entry level master’s degree programs earn both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in five years of full-time study.
