Shenandoah offers a breadth of opportunities and experiences to prepare you to help others and excel in your career aspirations.
There are many different areas of health care, and emerging fields are developing and being added to Shenandoah’s fleet of health care programs every year.
Shenandoah is not new to health professions. We’re nationally ranked in many programs, and we’ve been teaching in the health care field for many decades.

I spent some time looking into different healthcare careers and once I came across pharmacy, I couldn’t see myself doing anything else. My immediate thought was to be able to educate my family and my community about their healthcare options, but ultimately I want to help as many people as possible to get adequate and affordable healthcare.

Coming into Shenandoah University I was an exercise science major wanting to pursue athletic training. During my Introduction to Exercise Science class we had a guest speaker who is a Shenandoah alumni, she persuaded me to do occupational therapy.
