Program Description

THE BERNARD J. DUNN SCHOOL OF PHARMACY - Online
At Shenandoah University’s Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy, we’re on a mission: a mission to equip you with the skills and experiences you need to deliver high-quality, compassionate patient-centered health care through the profession of pharmacy. We do this by preparing you for the health care of tomorrow through a learning environment that immerses you in real-world practice environments and clinical settings. You will learn collaboratively with other health professionals, including doctors, nurses, and other members of an integrated health care team. Together, you can make a difference in the lives of your patients and in your community.

We are proud to expand our PharmD program to include an entry level online pathway that offers flexible engagement options and “on demand” learning for students. This online pathway will allow students to engage in much of the didactic curriculum asynchronously (on your own time), with some synchronous (live) online sessions and two on-campus visits per semester. On-campus and online options will maintain the same high educational standards to allow all students to achieve identical educational outcomes with added flexibility in how they interact with the curriculum, faculty, and their peers.
