MACON- Beginning in August, Mercer University will offer a revised joint J.D./M.B.A. degree program that can be completed in just three years. While the University has offered such programs in the past, this is the first in which participants can complete requirements for both professionally accredited degrees over a span of just three calendar years, while still gaining clerking experience during the summers.

A joint effort of the Tift College of Education and Mercer's College for Kids, Budding Authors is a program in which first through fifth-grade students try their hand at writing in a variety of formats. The students attend "college" on the Cecil B. Day Atlanta Campus for one week and work with Mercer graduate education students and alumni to hone their writing skills.
