Mercer University

Mercer University maintains an intimate, student-focused culture characteristic of small liberal arts colleges while offering a breadth of programs found at much larger universities. Mercer’s uniqueness is found in the way the university integrates five defining components of its mission: liberal learning, professional knowledge, discovery, service to humankind, and community.

Mercer students benefit from a welcoming atmosphere and small-class learning environment, and a 13 to 1 student-to-faculty ratio facilitating learning from a prestigious yet caring faculty. The historic campus is located in the heart of Macon, Georgia, which has 100,000 residents. Weather is hot and humid in the summer and mild in the winter, with an occasional snowfall. The city of Atlanta, with a metropolitan population of 3.5 million, is 130 km distant.
