A Message from the Dean
Charting Our Course: A Strategic Plan
Overview:
The University of Georgia College of Pharmacy offers the Doctor of Pharmacy professional
degree. Based in Athens, Georgia and affiliated with the Medical College
of Georgia in Augusta, the college admits about 125 students a year.
The four-year professional program integrates classroom, laboratory
and experiential training in a curriculum organized around both human
physiology and disease states. The college also offers graduate studies
in disciplines associated with pharmacotherapeutic research, clinical
work, and administration.
History:
The College of Pharmacy was founded in 1903. In 1926, seven years
before a degree was required for licensure, the
college adopted a four-year bachelor of science program. Since that
time the college has remained on the cutting edge of pharmacy education.
In this decade, curricular improvements include converting from a
B.S. to a Pharm.D. degree program, linking our two campuses through
two-way interactive video, implementing online instruction, and providing
students with earlier practice experience opportunities.
Dr. Svein Øie of the University of California San Francisco became Dean on
January 1, 2000. Under his guidance, the College has expanded it regional presence,
increased its scope of clinical activities, augmented the clinical faculty,
established a residency program, and moved toward a stronger interdisciplinary
approach to its research endeavors.
