The UNC School of Pharmacy was officially renamed the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy on May 21, 2008, following Eshelman’s total donations to the school amounted to $30 million in 2007. [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]
