International students beware! if you are looking for an institution to help you develop American values or integrate into American culture this is not the place. No emphasis is made on that or any real opportunities. They just want your money and to disrespect you in the process.
Overall 1.4
There is no field to rate the faculty or quality of communication in this section, and I really feel there should be. This university's graduate programs are an absolute joke. No response from associate deans, rapid changes to the semester schedule with ZERO communication with the students, and at best an indifference to the students from the deans

Mercer Atlanta is a small campus mostly for the Graduate programs. Some of its programs are better than others but if you are a kind of student who'd like to engage in social events or extra-curricular activities while you're studying, this is not a place for you.
