Misericordia University will hold an open house program for high school and transfer students and their parents on Saturday, Nov. 9. The program offers a tour of campus, meetings with students, faculty and coaches, as well as information sessions with admissions and financial aid counselors.
Registration begins at 9 a.m. in the Anderson Sports and Health Center. A special “Meet the Coaches” session will be available from 9-10 a.m. The open house program runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The schedule includes campus tours, a faculty session and lunch, and meetings with representatives of student services, athletics and financial aid. An informational session also will be available about the Alternative Learner’s Project for students with learning disabilities.
Misericordia also is offering an “Instant Decision Session” from 9 to 10 a.m. for high school seniors interested in admission beginning with the fall 2020 semester, and full-time transfer students who wish to enroll in the spring or fall semesters in 2020. To be eligible, students must have already submitted an application and need to bring official, sealed transcripts and test scores if they have not already provided them. The “Instant Decision Session” does not apply to high school juniors or occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech-language pathology applicants.
During the open house program, prospective students also will have an opportunity to tour numerous buildings, including the 40,000-square-foot John J. Passan Hall. Passan Hall houses state-of-the-art simulator laboratories and classrooms in the nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech-language pathology programs of the College of Health Sciences and Education.
The tours will also offer a look at athletic facilities, including Tambur Field, the home to Cougars Baseball, and John and Mary Metz Field House, adjacent to Manglesdorf Field. Misericordia University is an NCAA Division III school and participates in the MAC Freedom Conference.
The Athletics Department recently announced esports as a coed varsity activity. Esports involves teams competing head-to-head in multi-player games online through gaming broadcasters. Misericordia is the seventh team in the MAC to offer esports and brings Misericordia’s varsity athletics offerings to 26.
