Description
Shorter University is an intimate, four-year Christian school where students explore their religious values in the context of academics and make lifetime friends through various community activities.
Located in Rome, Georgia, Shorter’s programs are divided up into distinctive schools which include a school of business, a college of arts and sciences, a school of nursing, a school of education and a college of fine and performing arts.
Since classes are small, students interact regularly with their professors and fellow students.

Academic advising, career and personal counseling, tutoring and support for disabled students are some examples of services offered at Shorter.
