It is the obligation of the student to seek a Business Division adviser upon beginning a degree program. Internships A Mercyhurst education is designed to prepare the student to take their place in the best corporations and industries. Co-op placements and internships are diverse and challenging. The combination of classroom theory with planned and supervised co-op experiences opens the door to excellent job opportunities as our graduates join the ranks of successful young business executives.
All business students are encouraged to seek a co-op experience.
