Mercer's 8,300 Students Set New Enrollment Record

For the fifth straight year, has reached a record fall enrollment. The university-wide student population is up 1.2 percent to 8,336 students. This also marks the third year in a row the university’s enrollment has been more than 8,000 students.

This year's enrollment increase is driven in part by a continuing expansion of degree programs, including doctoral programs, new programs in the health sciences, and the continued expansion of the medical school campus in Savannah.

Among the 11 colleges and schools, those with the highest growth rates were the College of Continuing and Professional Studies, College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Eugene W. Stetson School of Business and Economics and the School of Medicine.
