The Georgia campus is a 19-acre site approximately 25 miles northeast of Atlanta in Gwinnett County, Georgia, which currently serves 338 medical students and 75 graduate students. The professional degree program in pharmacy will have a strong regional emphasis, with a focus on increasing the number of pharmacists in Georgia and the southeast.
