With the escalating costs of higher education at four-year colleges, the advantages of starting college here and transferring are even greater than in the past. Community college graduates who continue their education at four-year colleges have been proven to achieve as well or better than students who began as freshmen at those schools. For students who wish to pursue a career after a two-year degree, Mercer offers abundant opportunities to prepare for the workforce.

Mercer serves over 30,000 people each year in our associate degree programs, credit and noncredit certificate programs, continuing education, corporate training, career training, youth programs, and summer camps for children. Many more come to campus for cultural activities, sporting events and our fitness center and pool.

We offer pleasant learning environments at our scenic, 292-acre campus in suburban West Windsor, New Jersey, and at our James Kerney Campus, which serves as a vital and convenient source of educational programs in downtown Trenton. Many students also study from their homes or offices through The Virtual Campus.

We have invested much time and energy to this website so you can find answers to your questions. Please feel free to visit our campuses and to speak with our staff, faculty members and students to learn all you can about this very diverse and vibrant institution.

I wish you much success as you pursue your educational goals.

Two design studios are used extensively for architecture studies. The sophomore design studio provides 20 dual workstations -- a drafting table and a microcomputer equipped with the latest version of AutoCAD -- simulating actual worksite conditions.

The diverse visual arts programs are supported by a variety of studio and laboratory facilities.

Three studios are fully equipped for printing, drawing, painting and design courses. Two studios are equipped with combination graphics computers and drawing boards. These and four additional computer laboratories support electronic art, desktop publishing, multimedia and animation studies. Both Macintosh and PC compatible computers are used.

Aviation flight training takes place at our Fixed Base Operation at Trenton Mercer Airport where the college maintains a fleet of 10 aircraft for instructional purposes. Located at the airport are two AST 300 flight simulators and three computer flight trainers. Flight students are responsible for their own transportation to and from the airport. The college employs its own staff of flight instructors and dispatchers who provide services to our students. The ground training and course work are conducted at the West Windsor Campus where additional resources including a wind and smoke tunnel, engine cutaways, flight instruments, and meteorological equipment are used in multimedia classrooms.

The Aviation Flight Technology curriculum has been approved by the Council on Aviation Accreditation (CAA). It is one of the few community college programs in the United States

Sincerely,

Robert R. Rose, Ph.D.
