I wanted to go to a private, four-year college but they were all so expensive, except Mercy. I know I won’t still be paying for my education 20 years from now.

Alicia MedinaGeneral Business, ’17

A PRIVATE COLLEGE THAT BUILDS YOUR CAREER — NOT YOUR DEBTMercy College provides one of the most affordable private college educations in New York State. In fact, the tuition here is 40 percent less than the national average and scholarships and financial aid are available, for those who qualify, to bring the cost down even lower.

Our students also have 41 percent less debt on average when they graduate. That means lower student loan payments, so you can spend your money to build a career, not debt. But it’s not just affordable. Mercy is one of the best investments in your future. With a nationally recognized educational and cultural experience, a degree from Mercy College is a valuable asset in any career field.

Proof that you really can get a higher education for a lower tuition, and it’s right here in the Bronx.
