"Majoring in Accounting at Mercy College has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I worked full time while attending college. I was still able to graduate in four years due to the efficient and convenient scheduling of the Accounting program. I feel the strongest point of the program is the professors. Every accounting professor has real-world experience, which they conveyed in the classroom. Upon graduation I was ready for a challenging career and felt that I had the competitive edge. The faculty also provided me with great advice and assistance when searching for a job."
