    Frequently Asked Questions:

    How can I earn a degree when I work full-time and have other responsibilities such as family to deal with?
    You can be a full-time student earning up to 12 credits a semester by taking advantage of Mercy College's "B & C terms." Our "B & C terms" are two eight-week terms that run during a semester. These terms have classes that run commonly two nights a week. They are usually Monday - Wednesday and Tuesday -Thursday. The classes are run in an early and late time frame of 5:50-8:20pm and 8:30-11pm. Thus you can be a full-time student by taking two courses in the B term and two courses in the C-term. We also offer our business degrees online which gives our students more flexibility.

    I'm interested in Business but I'm not sure what specialization or major I should choose.
    No matter what specialization you choose, all Business majors have to first complete a set of foundation courses. These courses consist of a number of different courses which gives our students an insight to our major concentrations.

    Is there help available for me to register and choose my classes & schedule?
    Yes, Carole Coupe is the Advising Coordinator for the Business Division. She can be contacted by telephone at 914-674-7456 or e-mail ccoupe@mercy.edu. Carole along with additional Academic Advisors at each of our campuses and online are ready to assist you in any way they can.

    Is this program offered online?
    Yes. Our program is offered completely online.
