"Mercy College has an extremely impressive and distinguished Accounting program. The professors do not only teach accounting theory and its application and practical usage in the business world, but also ethics and accounting trends. The faculty is actively engaged in your career planning. Small class sizes allow the faculty to spend more time with individual students. My experience in Mercy's Accounting program has been first-class and I highly recommend it to anyone.
