Frequently Asked Questions:
How many credits can be transferred from another institution?
You may transfer in up to 75 credits from a two-year institution, up to 90 from a four-year institution and up to 90 credits combined however the credits may not exceed 75 from any combination of two-year institutions as they apply to your chosen degree. In addition you may only transfer in two courses of upper-level business credit (six credits) to apply to the major/specialization. You must also have obtained a grade of "C" or better in these courses. However "C- & D" may be accepted if you have obtained an associates or bachelors degree with a minimum GPA of 2.0.
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 Term" 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 major/specialization 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 give our students an insight to our major concentration. These foundation courses along with our Business Mentoring Program run by Professor Thomas Bonville help our students in planning their careers and in searching for appropriate jobs.
Is there help available for me to register and choose my classes and schedule?
