Overview

Early Childhood Education majors at Mercyhurst University enter the field during their first year of study through faculty-led clinical experiences. Several unique community partnerships provide opportunities for paid experience in local classrooms and after-school programs.

Features

Education majors who maintain strong academic performance are eligible to join Mercyhurst’s award-winning chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, the International Honor Society in Education. KDP members gain access to exclusive scholarships, research funding, and service-learning opportunities that strengthen resumes and expand impact.

Through the Mercyhurst Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), students have the chance to engage directly with individuals with disabilities in and out of the classroom. From volunteering at the region’s annual Special Olympics to fundraising for local non-profits, CEC offers valuable experience in inclusive education—and in building an inclusive community.
