Mercy College recognizes students' professional success and advanced experience by waiving courses, saving students time and money in achieving their goals. Now both the Bachelor of Science in Medical Imaging (BSMI) and Master of Health Administration (MHA) degrees have robust prior learning credit programs.

Expanded credit for credentials for BSMI
