Study Abroad

In addition to studying abroad a semester or a year at a selected college or university, Mercer students also can explore the world through a number of faculty-led study abroad programs. The small-group programs give students the opportunity to earn academic credit, experience another culture and study with faculty members they know from the College of Liberal Arts. Several of the programs have hands-on experiences.

Studying Abroad in Oxford, England

Mercer undergraduate students have the opportunity to enroll in the Oxford Overseas Study Course, which is a tutorial program modeled after The University of Oxford's method of education. Mercer is one of three universities and colleges invited to participate in this selective academic program. Mercer students are taught individually by Oxford professors (dons), are given access to selected Oxford libraries and are given exclusive membership in the Oxford Student Union. Admission to the Oxford Overseas Study Course requires a 3.5 or above grade point average. Student are encouraged to apply early since space is limited and is awarded on a competitive basis.
