One reason that Misericordia is so successful is that it provides students with an abundance of hands-on, real-world experience and preparation.
The Guaranteed Placement Program (GPP) is designed to prepare students looking to enter the workforce or graduate school after graduation and is facilitated through workshops and individual appointments.
The GPP offers students a paid internship in their field if they are not employed or in graduate school within six months of graduation (terms & conditions apply).
Misericordia is an excellent place to explore new opportunities and get involved.
There are over 40 clubs and organizations available including the Student Outdoor Adventure & Recreation Program (SOAR); 31 NCAA DIII sports for men and women; and esports, a coed varsity activity!
