Leadership is evolving, and Shenandoah University is leading the charge. This fall, the university is launching nine new online graduate programs built for professionals who want to move fast, think strategically and lead with confidence. Delivered in partnership with Risepoint, these new degrees offer flexibility, focus and the kind of high-touch support Shenandoah is known for.

Beginning in October 2025, students can enroll in the following Shenandoah University online graduate programs:

Shenandoah University is rising to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world, and these new online graduate programs reflect our commitment to accessible, career-relevant education that’s deeply personal. With support from Risepoint, we’re extending our high-touch, small-class model to online learners across Virginia and beyond.”

Karen Abraham, Ph.D., Shenandoah University Provost

Shenandoah, known as the “Big Little University Rising,” will use these online programs to further integrate its faculty’s signature individualized support with practical, in-demand skills in business, health and technology, fields critical to regional and national economic growth.

“Shenandoah is taking decisive steps to meet the needs of today’s learners,” said Fernando Bleichmar, CEO of Risepoint. “This is what modern education should look like: flexible, career-connected, and focused on delivering a high return-on-investment for students. We’re proud to support a university that pairs innovation with personal connection at every step.”

Applications are due by Oct. 6. Please visit online.su.edu for more information.
