YOU'RE NOT ALONE 

If you think you might stand out from the crowd as an adult student, you’re wrong. Nearly 1/3 of our student population is made up of non-traditional students — we’re a diverse bunch! You’ll meet friends and peers with goals and lives just like your own.

Life is busy as a Mercy College student, but there’s still time for fun and networking with your peers.

Plus, every preceptor or observation experience is a chance to make an impression for future career opportunities.
