TR Business Programs

The Harry F. Byrd, Jr. School of Business offers students the opportunity to transfer into Shenandoah University to complete their degree in Business Administration. Transfer students interested in the school of business have two track options: Traditional Transfer Program or Business Degree Completion Program (DCP).
