Mercy University Students Gain Fast-Track to Degrees Through Partnership with Northeast College
Northeast College of Health Sciences and Mercy University have announced an enhanced educational partnership featuring new articulation agreements that create streamlined pathways to Northeast’s Doctor of Chiropractic and M.S. in applied clinical nutrition programs, saving students time and money.
The partnership enables Mercy students majoring in health sciences, exercise science, or biomedical science to participate in a 4+3 articulation track. Students who meet Northeast’s admission requirements can complete their undergraduate degree at Mercy and gain automatic acceptance into Northeast’s Doctor of Chiropractic program or its 100% online master’s in nutrition program.
“We’re excited to partner with Mercy University to support academic excellence, leadership and continued learning,” said Dr. Michael Mestan, president of Northeast College of Health Sciences. “This collaboration highlights our interprofessional focus and we look forward to welcoming Mercy students who are ready to reimagine health and pursue their doctorates at Northeast.”
With guided support from both institutions, students avoid unnecessary coursework and begin their path to Northeast by submitting a letter of intent signed by their undergraduate advisor.
