Mount Mercy College and Kirkwood Community
    College have enjoyed a powerful, mutually beneficial
    partnership for decades. We are proud to say that many
    Mount Mercy graduates have begun their college careers
    at Kirkwood. The unique partnership forged by our
    institutions - most notably in the Advance program, a
    joint accelerated degree program for working adults -
    illustrate our collective commitment to local workforce
    development in the Corridor area.
