The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy is located at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a satellite campus at UNC Asheville;[1] the satellite 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.[3]

The school is named after alumni Dr. Fred Eshelman, in part, because of his nearly one-hundred and forty million dollars donated to the school.[4]

It offers a Doctor of Pharmacy degree[5] and a Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences (MS) with a specialization in health System pharmacy administration.[6]

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.[7]
