Program:
As globalization continues to encompass and embrace all countries and industries, businesses are being forced to rethink their competitive strategies. To simply expect to survive, let alone grow their businesses within their traditional, local markets, is quickly becoming an irrational, if not naive, expectation.
Our Bachelor Degree in International Business prepares our students to develop a global perspective to "doing business." They will learn from highly qualified and professional faculty how to compete in today's dynamic and hypercompetitive market place of today's modern organizations. As barriers to competition are eliminated in certain countries and others are erected, our curricula will teach and guide our students to think "nimbly" and quickly to adapt to the ever-changing environmental forces.

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 credits from any combination of two year institutions as they apply to your chosen degree. B. In addition you may only transfer in two courses of upper-level business credit (six credits) to apply to the major / specialization. C. You must 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 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 fulltime student by taking two courses in the B term and two courses in the C-term yet technically you are attending on a part time basis. 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/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 concentration. These foundation courses along with our Business Mentoring Program run by Professor Thomas Bonville help our students in planning their careers and in search for appropriate jobs.

Yes, Carole Coupe is the Advising Coordinator for the Business Division. She can be contacted by telephone at 914-674-7456 or email ccoupe@mercy.edu. Carole along with additional Academic Advisors at each of our campus & on-line are ready to assist you in any way they can.
