"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

I have been using Shenandoah as a remediation site for our school since 1999. I feel they offer remediation programs for roughly 90% of our Pharmacotherapeutics Modules. The modules are up-to-date and comprehensive for the material, and the synchronization of voice and PowerPoint makes it easy for the student to follow. They worked with us to provide hard-copy exams and keys, rather than make the students take the online exams. This allows more flexibility in scheduling the exams and makes it more efficient for me and the students. The faculty and staff are very accommodating and provide an efficient and professional service. I am very pleased with the process and will continue to do so.”
