Pharmacy Faculty

Ademutola Akinnuoye '22

"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."

Pharmacy Remediation Courses

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!”
