Mercy's revamped School of Business now offers a 1-year MBA degree, which is attracting students from Georgetown, Brown and University of Michigan, and a 3-year undergraduate honors degree.
Mercy College continues to expand its program offerings with two new degree programs in the School of Business: a three-year Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (B.S.) and one-year Master of Business Administration (MBA). Applications are being accepted for both degrees for fall 2013.
The programs aim to provide students with access to business executives through the Executive Faculty network, networking opportunities in Manhattan and real-world experiences through internships and projects.

Accelerated MBA
The One-Year MBA offers an accelerated and reinvigorated graduate degree presented in a new format for today’s busy students and working professionals.

Offered over four quarters—fall, winter, spring and summer—students
will combine the knowledge and skills they gained through their undergraduate
major with business fundamentals in a way that creates a unique personal brand.
Open to Mercy College and non-Mercy College graduates, competitive scholarships will be awarded to exceptional students.
“Mercy College’s MBA offers a fast-track business program and career onnections,” said Executive Dean Ray Manganelli, Ph.D., director, MBA Program and Strategic Consulting Institute at Mercy College. “Our faculty is comprised of executives from top global companies and includes managing directors from Merrill Lynch, CEOs from Swiss Re Consulting and directors at Goldman Sachs. We will introduce you to more people in one year than you will meet in ten years otherwise—an additional return on your educational investment.”
Mercy College is the most cost-effective major Manhattan college or university to offer the MBA degree, and the only major Manhattan college or university to offer a one-year program. Classes are offered on weeknights and weekends.
The One-Year MBA can be combined with the Three-Year Degree.
