Student Life
Imagine. Discover. Create.
Join our community
Our students’ success depends not only on what happens in the classroom but also what happens outside of it. As a student here, you will deepen your faith through shared spiritual experiences with others in the McAfee community and find a diverse array of student groups to support your educational experience.
Students benefit from a welcoming atmosphere, an intimate learning environment, world-class resources, and unparalleled opportunities. As an embedded School of Theology at Mercer University, we are able to offer our students the intimacy of a small community of learning with the benefits and amenities of a larger university experience.
