The English Language Institute in Atlanta was established on the Atlanta campus in 1986 and became a division of International Programs in 1995. The English language programs were established to serve the growing English language needs in Macon, Atlanta and their respective surrounding communities. At present, International Programs is a work in progress with high hopes for the international future of Mercer University. The Office of International Programs coordinates undergraduate student and faculty exchange programs. Student Exchange Programs Student exchange programs allow Mercer students to study at an affiliated overseas university for the same price as their home tuition.
Students simply pay for their housing, meals, and fees at the other institution.
Faculty exchanges usually are for one academic semester.
