Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at UPMC Mercy School of Nursing rose from 24 to 50 (+108%). The increase shows up in Aggravated Assault (23 to 46), Fondling (1 to 2) and Motor Vehicle Theft (0 to 1).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at UPMC Mercy School of Nursing
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 4 Clery Act categories here: Aggravated Assault, Fondling, Motor Vehicle Theft and Rape. Aggravated Assault accounts for most of them.
The remaining 7 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Burglary, Incest and Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where UPMC Mercy School of Nursing sits on price and outcomes
At $33,159, UPMC Mercy School of Nursing's reported average net price is cheaper than 95% among 261 Pennsylvania colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $19,954.

Price barely responds to income at this institution. Families under $30,000 report $32,063 and those above $110,000 report $35,331, a difference of just $3,268. Where the curve is this flat, need-based aid is doing little of the work and the sticker figure is close to what most families actually pay.
Six-year median earnings of $68,303 run about 2.1 times the annual net price. The margin is real but narrow, so how many years of price a student actually pays matters a great deal here. 50% complete within six years, so roughly 50% leave without the credential - and those students still carry whatever they paid.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
