University of the Sciences (aka Philadelphia College of Pharmacy) is merging with another institution.
No, not the decades-old, long-rumored merger with Penn...
It's merging with St. Joseph's. No, not the pharmacy program in Connecticut...it is merging with the St. Joseph's University 5 miles away on the Main Line.
St. Joe’s and University of the Sciences have voted to proceed with a merger
Saint Joseph's University & University of the Sciences
Cash-flow problems and a downgrade in UScience's bond rating appear to have been the impetus for the merger.
I can't imagine that the leadership at the other independent stand-alone [or highly pharmacy-centric] schools like Albany, Appalachian, and St. Louis see this as anything other than an uncomfortable glimpse into their future.
USciences is celebrating their 200th anniversary this year. It won't make it to 202.
