Professor Smith assists biology student in lab experiment

It is said Shenandoah University, in the scope of its opportunities, operates like a large school with thousands of students. But, in the nature of its personality, it operates like the smaller, private university it is. At Shenandoah, faculty take teaching – and co-learning with students – seriously, because they regard scholarship as central to the teaching enterprise. All you have to do is sit in a classroom with a highly qualified Shenandoah professor who loves to teach and who is openly committed to your success, to understand the caring side. Or work side by side with a professor on research that adds to the body of knowledge in an academic field to understand the collaborative side. With more than 80 programs of study, Shenandoah has faculty who skillfully balance scholarship and the love of intellectual adventure with helping students to build impressive careers.

The results speak for themselves. Shenandoah University alumni live and work in more than 40 states and 15 countries.
