"We have one of the best professional schools in the country. Shenandoah is very innovative, very high-technology. Also, if you want to focus on a smaller school, the educators at the school of pharmacy know you by name. I have faculty members who I call my 'mom' and my 'dad' because I'm so far from home. Shenandoah University caters to the student, entirely."

"I experienced so much personal and professional growth at Shenandoah University and a large part of that was because of the remarkable faculty members who work incredibly hard to help the students succeed. I found many mentors who provided me with endless guidance and unique opportunities that allowed me to pave my own path in the profession."

"There's not a ton of schools with the MBA/Pharm.D. dual degree. But I was really looking for a kind of smaller school ,and I also wanted a really solid school with a lot of opportunities. Shenandoah is really close to D.C. – that gives you a lot of opportunities, nationally. One of my favorite things is going to Capitol Hill and speaking with senators and their staff about different policies that pertain to pharmacy. We also have an affiliation with Johns Hopkins (Baltimore, Maryland) for fourth-year rotations. We have a clinical track with them."

Ashley Myers '18, '22
"I chose SU because when started searching in high school, they had everything I wanted, and with the guaranteed admit, I didn't have to reapply to graduate school, later on. Everyone here is just great. Your friends are great; the professors are so awesome. In undergrad, for my research, I went fishing with my professor every week, and I got help from them, whenever I needed it, during their office hours. My undergraduate classes prepared me for graduate school. I think they really set us up for success here."

"Shenandoah felt like family - it felt like home. All the faculty and staff are very friendly. The students are very friendly. It just seemed like the right place for me. There are so many different options that I never knew were possible with a pharmacy degree. I don't just have to go to retail; I can do so many other things: outpatient, inpatient, hospital, I can do long-term care - anything that I can imagine is out there for me."

We had a great experience. The online course offered a great alternative for the student. The faculty and staff from SU were very communicative on progress through the module as well as steps we needed to take to ensure transfer of the credit. I will definitely keep this as an option for our students!”
