At Mount Mercy, you don’t have to sacrifice quality for convenience. Our Adult Accelerated programs offer the same small class sizes, career-minded majors and faculty support you expect from Mount Mercy, but with a schedule designed for working adults.

Part of what makes the Adult Accelerated program so successful is that all of our faculty members are also experienced professionals. Your marketing professor is the VP of marketing at a large Cedar Rapids firm, and your nursing instructor draws from years of experience in regional hospitals. This means that all assignments and classroom discussions are infused with a practical, real-world perspective.
