The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy is located at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and includes a satellite campus at UNC Asheville.[1] The Asheville School of Pharmacy campus opened in 2011, and graduated its first class in 2015.[2]
U.S. News & World Report ranked the Eshelman School the #1 pharmacy school in the United States in 2016, 2020, 2021, and 2022.[3]
The school is named after alumnus and Wall Street investor Fred Eshelman, who had by that point donated nearly $140 million to the school.[4]
It offers a Doctor of Pharmacy degree,[5] a Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences with a specialization in health system pharmacy administration,[6] and a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences with an emphasis in four research areas.[7]
Robert A. Blouin was the Dean of the school from 2003 to 2017, until he became the school's Provost in 2017. Dr. Dhiren Thakker was appointed interim dean,[8] and turned the position over to Dr. Angela Kashuba when she became the college's first woman Dean since the inception of the historic school.[9]
