The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy is located at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a satellite campus at University of North Carolina at Asheville[1]. U.S. News & World Report ranked the Eshelman School the #1 pharmacy school in the United States in 2016.[1]

History

The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy was established in 1897 and still stands as the only public school of pharmacy in the state of North Carolina. Currently, Pharmacy faculty reside at Beard Hall, Kerr Hall, Genetic Medicine Building, and Marsico Hall on the UNC Chapel Hill campus. In 2011, the University of North Carolina at Asheville campus opened, graduating their first class in 2015.[2]

Fred Eshelman, CEO and founder of Wilmington-based PPD Inc.[3] and a member of the Class of 1972 pledged to the school $20 million in 2003, and $10 million in 2007. These initial plegdes were used to support educational initiatives and cancer research. In May 2008, the School was renamed in honor Dr. Eshelman. In December of 2014, Eshelman pledged an additional $100 million to the School to accelerate collaborative innovations. To date, Dr. Eshelman’s total support of the School is approximately $133 million.
