UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy


The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy is located at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a satellite campus at UNC Asheville; the satellite opened in 2011 and graduated its first class in 2015.
U.S. News & World Report ranked the Eshelman School the #1 pharmacy school in the United States in 2016 and 2020.
The school is named after alumnus Dr. Fred Eshelman, in part, because of his nearly $140 million donated to the school.
It offers a Doctor of Pharmacy degree, a Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences with a specialization in health system pharmacy administration and a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences with an emphasis in four research areas.
Robert A. Blouin was dean of the school from 2003 to 2017; when he was promoted to provost in 2017, Dhiren Thakker was appointed interim dean. In October 2019, Angela Kashuba was named dean, serving as the first woman dean of the school.
