Mercer University Reviews

"I really do love my program. It is a great two year program for those who want to pursue research as their career. Since it is a new program, we are the firsts so there still are kinks to resolve."

"I think Mercer University is a great school. I did not attend for my undergraduate degree but had friends from high school that did. The campus is small and Macon is a nice city, and its only 100 miles from Atlanta if you feel you can't find anything to do in Macon. The faculty and staff are great and can really give you the attention and help you need to succeed. I'm very pleased with my graduate experience at Mercer University and definitely would encourage others to look into it."

"I think that this program is excellent for working adults. It offers a flexible schedule, and a competitive program that allows students to excel tremendously in professional careers upon program completion."

"My gradate program offers a very competitive curriculum that has made Mercer University recognized as fourth best private pharmacy school in the nation. With this curriculum, I will be sure to become a very successful pharmacist and healthcare professional."

"Mercer's Ed Leadership PhD program is geared for the working professional. For the most part the professors are supportive. The program is a cohort model with tracks for higher ed and k - 12. Because I already hold a MA in Ed Leadership, I haven't found the program to be enlightening. If I had to do it all over again, I think I would have selected the program in C & I."

"This is a great program with small classes which allows for more personalized experiences within each class. The tuition is slightly expensive, however, this is expected of a private institution. Overall it is a great school, with great facilities, programs, and professors. Also the diversity of the students who attend is amazing. You will literally meet people from all over the world."

"The school is amazing! My program is very thorough. I have never taken a course on education but starting this program has been a breeze. Each course completely goes with one another which I feel is what makes this program so great. The con I have with this graduate program is that it doesn't allow much room for working when it comes the field experiences. For instance Practicum is 60 hours required in a classroom & with student teaching you can't work at all. So where are the scholarships? Where are the grants? I have a 4.0 and I'm literally stressed about how I'm going to pay my bills when I'm doing student teaching.Read Less"

"My program covers all the essentials needed for a successful public heath program- epidemiology, health promotion and disease prevention, biostatistics, etc. Also they require that we do an internship and capstone. I feel like it is comprehensive education that emphasizes theory learned in class, as well as real world application. A con is that my program does not have specialized tracks, it's a general program, so students can't specialize in anything."

"The M.A.T Graduate Program at Mercer University has always given me the tool that I need to become an exceptional teacher. I only wish the location was closer."

"Pros - Small class size - Tradition and conservative - Great counselors Cons - Expensive - Do not offer many elective classes - Graduation is once a year"
