Washington University in St. Louis announced a planned acquisition of the University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy’s St. Louis College of Pharmacy, intending to fold the program into WashU as its tenth academic school. The transaction will shift the historic pharmacy program and select degree offerings to WashU while UHSP phases out programs that do not transfer. University leaders said the move deepens interdisciplinary ties across medicine, public health and life sciences, and provides continuity for pharmacy education in the region. The acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals and raises questions about program continuity for students in non‑transferring majors.
