How do transfer credits work?

No matter your reason for transferring, Mercy keeps things simple. Mercy University accepts the credits you've already earned at your previous institution and applies them to your bachelor's degree. We will work with you to transfer as many credits as possible into your new program. 

We can accept up to 75 credits from a two-year school and 90 credits from a four-year school.
