At Mercer, we value service over self. Mercer's commitment to our active-duty military, veterans, spouses, dependents, and their families has earned us a federal designation as a "Principles of Excellence" institution, a "Best for Vets" college, and Georgia's First Purple Herat University. We believe in providing unmatched customer service and support to these honorable and distinguished students. We honor their service to our country and recognize their initiative and propensity to reach their goals of obtaining a degree. With that in mind, we have student success programs specifically designed to support these remarkable students. That is why we desire to be designated a Military Friendly School once again.
