Mercyhurst University, located in Erie, Pennsylvania, overlooks Lake Erie from a hilltop campus that features a blend of Tudor Gothic and contemporary architecture. The private Catholic liberal arts institution, founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1926, operates from a main 75-acre campus in Erie and maintains a second location in North East, Pennsylvania. The university is recognized for its intelligence studies program, which prepares students for careers in national security and law enforcement, as well as its programs in archaeology, forensic science, and dance. Mercyhurst provides traditional dormitory and apartment-style housing for students, with most freshmen residing in the historic Old Main building. The Lakers compete in NCAA Division II athletics, with ice hockey serving as a signature sport for both men's and women's programs.
