Undergraduate and graduate degrees are offered, with courses held on the Macon and Atlanta campuses and in satellite centers across middle Georgia. The curriculum includes programs in criminal justice, applied sociology, human resource administration and religious studies. The McAfee School of Theology opened its doors in August 1996 with 44 students, which increased to 60 students by last spring. This fall the School's enrollment has grown to 87 students, representing 15 states and two foreign countries. The Mercer Engineering Research Center continues to expand its high-quality engineering research services to government and private industry throughout middle Georgia and the nation.
Books are generally in the areas of Southern history, philosophy and religion.
A highlight each year is the Authors Luncheon, sponsored by Mercer University Press, where a book signing and the presentation of several noted authors is held.
