Cost Overview
Families typically pay $27,263 annually at Mercyhurst, far below the $44,510 sticker price. Net costs drop to $20,609 for middle-income families earning $30,000-$48,000, while those making over $110,000 pay $31,992.

Graduates leave with $25,305 in median debt, translating to $268 monthly payments. That's manageable against the $47,452 median salary ten years out, representing about 7% of gross monthly income. The 53.54% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle initially, though 95.9% find employment. Only 26.25% receive institutional grants, but those who do get substantial aid averaging $32,418. Middle-income families get the sweetest deal here, paying less than higher earners while accessing the same Catholic liberal arts education and strong athletics programs.
