Shenandoah University is the private, nationally recognized applied liberal arts university that invites students to join a close-knit community rich in creative energy. We attract independent, curious, and academically prepared students who seek a rigorous education and exceptional professional training. In our dynamic academic community, students: connect with accomplished professors; engage in small, highly interactive classes; apply what they learn in a variety of experiences outside the classroom; and expand their understanding and perspectives by being involved in global initiatives. As a result, our graduates are empowered to help improve the human condition and are prepared to be principled professional leaders.\r\n\r\nOur main campus is located in the City of Winchester, VA in the historic Shenandoah Valley. Our Northern Virginia campus, located in Leesburg, VA, 45 miles to the east, specializes in graduate study in education and nursing. SU is comprised of six academic schools, offering 42 baccalaureate, 18 masters, and 8 doctoral programs, and a broad spectrum of minors and undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, and post-doctoral certificates.\r\n\r\nThe College of Arts & Sciences provides a classic, broad-based education to satisfy both intellectual curiosity and career goals. Offering small classes and individualized learning opportunities, we put students at the center of all our decisions and events.\r\n\r\nShenandoah Conservatory is Virginia’s, and one of the country’s, premier conservatories with a faculty of professionals in music, theatre and dance and alumni that take center stage from Broadway to the concert halls of Europe.
