Academics

Mercer University athletics prides itself on upholding a strong tradition of academic excellence in its athletics program. All Bears' athletes are expected to be good students first and use the athletics experience to enhance one's academic goals.

We are always proud of all on-field awards gained by our student-athletes, like "Player of the Week," all-conference, all-American, etc. However, Mercer University believes just as much in the importance of awards such as the Atlantic Sun Conference Scholar-Athletes, NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarships and CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Americans, to name a few.

Academic expectations from student-athletes can be found in the MU Student-Athlete Handbook.
