Shenandoah University is located in the beautiful, scenic Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.  Our 125-acre campus in Winchester, Virginia, allows for small city conveniences while students take advantage of four-season recreational opportunities throughout the mid-Atlantic region.  Only 90 minutes from Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD, students easily travel to enjoy world-class venues and urban activities as well. We hope you will visit soon to experience our incredible community.

I highly, highly recommend Shenandoah University to anyone looking for a high-quality, customizable education led by supportive and accommodating professors that go out of their way to ensure the success of each individual that steps foot in their classroom. One month after graduating, I dove right into the professional world. I am currently working full-time at a behavioral health agency in children's behavioral services, while getting my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
