Mount
Mercy College prepares you to succeed in the competitive, fast-paced
world of business. Our graduates get jobs at industry-leading companies
such as: Aegon, Rockwell Collins, Great America Leasing, Wells Fargo,
Genencor, MSI Mold Builders, Management Recruiters, General Mills, CRST,
and many others.
We offer students
small classes in high-tech facilities taught by full-time teaching faculty,
giving each student personalized attention. A low student-to-instructor
ratio and flexible scheduling options enable students to complete their
education in four years. Internship opportunities and community business
partnerships give students the opportunity to acquire real-world experience
while attending classes full-time.
The business program
at Mount Mercy includes majors in accounting,
marketing, management
and interdisciplinary studies
with minors in accounting, business, economics and finance. An accounting
major develops the ability to compile financial statements and analyze
complex data while becoming proficient in relevant computer applications.
The management major prepares students for a leadership career in managing
organizations and individuals, while the marketing major prepares for
introductory and future marketing positions in an evolving, wide-ranging
field.
Several pre-structured
interdisciplinary majors, combining business with another discipline
are available, giving the option of a broad-based major dealing with
at least two areas of concentration. The number of hours required by
these majors is substantially less than needed to double major in the
same areas. All students are required to complete the business component
of the major and the required coursework in a companion-area component
of their choice.
Mount Mercy College
offers you the opportunity to apply your skills in organizations outside
the classroom. The Mount Mercy Students
in Free Enterprise (SIFE) student leaders volunteered more than
1,300 hours and empowered more than 2,900 people in the local area this
year alone. Students blend their knowledge and hands-on classroom experience
to teach the skills needed to succeed in our free enterprise system
to a wide array of individuals ranging in age from kindergartners to
the Sisters of Mercy.
