Mercy reviews applications on a rolling basis. International applicants should apply by 1 June 2027 for fall and by 1 November 2026 for spring to leave time for the I-20 and visa. Some health programmes have earlier fixed deadlines.
Undergraduates can start in fall (September) or spring (January). Computer science, cybersecurity and the MBA admit for both fall and spring, while nursing admits mainly in the fall.
You need an F-1 student visa. Mercy's international admissions office issues your Form I-20 after you accept the offer and submit proof of funding. Then pay the SEVIS fee, complete the DS-160 and book an interview at a US embassy or consulate.
Computer science, cybersecurity, the MBA and nursing attract the most international applicants. Graduate admission needs a bachelor's degree with a GPA of at least 3.0 and TOEFL 79 or IELTS 6.5; the GRE and GMAT are not required for most programmes.
