ASU & Georgia's 'South University' Signing Historic MOU on Pharmacy Doctorate for ASU Students

The news media is invited to attend a news conference being held in the President's Conference Room at Alabama State University on Wednesday (Feb. 1) at 10 a.m. that concerns a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) being signed between the University and South University of Savannah, Ga. The event will take approximately 15 minutes, after which, reporters may ask questions.
 
The MOU will offer a seamless avenue for ASU students to study and receive a doctoral degree in Pharmacy. Representing the two schools and signing the MOU document will be ASU's Dr. Carl S. Pettis, provost and vice president of Academic Affairs and South University's Dr. Gilbert Singletary, vice chancellor of Academic Affairs. 
 
"Helping bridge the gap for our students to have enhanced professional careers by receiving, in this case, a doctorate in pharmacy, is the purpose of this academic agreement between our two universities," said Provost Pettis. "One of our main goals to enrich the academic lives of our students is for ASU to expand educational opportunities for its students and for us to better define pathways for their success in life."
