History
The UNC School of Pharmacy was officially renamed the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy on May 21, 2008, following Eshelman’s 2007 donation of $30 million to the school.[1]
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,[2] 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.[3]
Academics
The school offers a Doctor of Pharmacy degree,[4] a Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences with a specialization in health system pharmacy administration,[5] and a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences with an emphasis in four research areas.[6]
The Asheville School of Pharmacy campus opened in 2011, and graduated its first class in 2015.[7]
