DIRECT ADMIT

While some colleges require students to apply to their program again as sophomores, Detroit Mercy admits you directly into your major as a freshman — so you can start focusing on your future from day one.

Professional Co-op is part of your program

Our cooperative education program is the third oldest co-op in the country, combining career development with hands-on engineering experience. You’ll work in professional settings with mentorship, gain industry insights and cultural awareness. Earn a competitive salary while applying what you’ve learned in the classroom.

The co-op made my classes more concrete. Being able to see my design come to life made engineering more real.

Affordable

Detroit Mercy offers many scholarships that can help make college more affordable. Here is a partial listing of both internal and external scholarships specifically for engineering and science students. For the most current details, please contact the Office of Financial Aid.

Jesuit and Mercy Foundation

At Detroit Mercy, our Jesuit and Mercy traditions help you build strong skills in thinking, communication and making good decisions. You’ll learn how your work affects people and communities — something employers look for in today’s graduates.

My classes have allowed me to apply what I’ve learned and share it with the community. Detroit Mercy has taught me to think beyond myself and create projects that help others, a value I carry into almost everything I do.

—Gillian Toller, Computer Science senior

Research and Projects That Let You Learn by Doing

At Detroit Mercy, you start research and project-based work as a freshman—not just in graduate school. You’ll work with faculty who care about your success and learn that engineering is about trying things out, not just reading about them. You’ll get the chance to tackle practical problems and make a difference, ending with a senior capstone project that shows off everything you’ve learned.

I'm very surprised by how I have been able to produce such sufficient research at 19-years-old. I never thought I'd get to the point of having such a contribution to science at a young age.

Opportunities

As a student, you can take advantage of opportunities and our corporate partnerships which prepare you for a successful career when you graduate. Or you may make friends and start networking with your peers now, by joining a student club.

I believe that Detroit Mercy encourages students to pursue interests outside of their field to create well-rounded professionals.
