The American Language program at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education is open to any international student who has completed secondary-school studies.
Students develop leadership skills that they then apply to service projects.
GFTP combines interactive group sessions and discussions, as well as hands-on technology laboratories, to create an environment where everyone, even the program's administrators, learns. The program inspires participants to discover what works in educating students. The non-traditional doctorate program is a joint venture between UGA's College of Pharmacy and Mercer University's Southern School of Pharmacy in Atlanta. The program enables pharmacists who entered the work force immediately after receiving their bachelor of science degree to return to school and earn a doctorate without putting their careers on hold. The pharmacists keep working while earning their degrees using the Internet, video lectures, video conference and workshops at UGA, Mercer and other sites around the state.
