Collaboration of Universities
The ‘Georgia Southern University’ and ‘South University’ have come up with a collaboration partnership agreement to provide better courses and degrees that will be affordable for everyone. This partnership will provide many offers and opportunities to students by introducing collaborative basic and applied research projects for graduate and undergraduate students. This collaboration will allow students to obtain their bachelor’s degree while pursuing a pharmacy degree. The 3+3 program has been developed to provide better learning opportunities to everyone.
How this Partnership Works?
The partnership agreement between Georgia South University and Southern University is a boon for students pursuing a pharmacy degree. Before this agreement, students had to obtain an undergraduate degree in biology or chemistry from the Georgia South University, and then obtain a pharmacy degree from the Southern University. This process would take 7 years to finally get rewarded with the pharmacy degree.
But, after this partnership agreement, students will complete both the undergraduate and graduate programs in just 6 years saving an extra year of time and money.
