Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) and University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy (UHSP) today announced they have entered into an agreement whereby WashU will assume control of UHSP, ensuring the legacy of the 162-year-old institution and first college of pharmacy founded west of the Mississippi River. UHSP’s central program, the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD), will become WashU’s 10th academic school, to be known as WashU St. Louis College of Pharmacy. Other UHSP programs will continue through the end of the academic year in spring 2027, when some will transition to WashU. The agreement remains subject to regulatory approvals.

Obviously this is all about the financial pressures on institutions like UHSP, but this is a nice expansion for WashU both in terms of academic programs and physical campus.
