Mercy College Expands its Graduate Business Programs
Dobbs Ferry, New York (PRWEB) April 30, 2016 -- Mercy College is expanding its Graduate Business Programs to the Bronx campus and the Dobbs Ferry campus. The following programs will be expanding due to high demand: Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Organizational Leadership (MSOL) and Human Resources Management (HRM). The expansion will begin this summer.
School of Business Graduate Program Chair Dr. Ray Manganelli said: “We believe that people think bigger and excel further when they are armed with a graduate business school degree. Our programs have been recognized for their quality and convenience and we have been asked for years to expand them to the Bronx and Westchester – today we are announcing that we are expanding.”
The most in demand feature of the Graduate Business programs is the MBA’s Turbo Program, which allows student to complete the degree in one year with an accelerated start. With Turbo, students attend classes, at no cost, in an integrated form for about a month and can earn class waivers totaling 21 credits.
New Turbo Programs will begin in:
June at Mercy College’s Dobbs Ferry Campus
July at Mercy College’s Bronx Campus
August at Mercy College’s Manhattan Campus
Mercy College President Tim Hall said: “This is an opportunity for residents of Westchester and the Bronx to be in the classroom learning about advanced business concepts in a setting that makes achieving the work/ life/ study balance a lot easier. We are excited to expand these programs and applaud the students who will be enrolling.”
When it comes to students, Mercy’s admission’s team is looking for the driven, unstoppable and the focused to apply to the Business Graduate School Programs. MBA Program alumnus Michael Zarrilli said: “I was a Mount Vernon Police officer before I enrolled in the MBA Program. A graduate business degree can jump start your career and give you more professional options. For me it was great to be around ambitious people, with different career pasts. We learned financial analysis and managerial analytics, and have discussed a rich array of business topics – the program completely changed the course of my life.”
Mercy College School of Business Dean Ed Weis said: “I’m proud of the dramatic enrollment growth of the MBA program in recent years which has been driven by our innovative approach. In addition to their terrific academic credentials, our professors have decades of professional leadership experience at top global companies. This allows our curriculum to be focused on high level consulting projects where the academic knowledge actually transfers to our students' desired corporate roles. We also offer students opportunities to network with Fortune 500 business leaders through our Advisory Board."
