New Chapter. Same Legacy.

In early 2026, University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy reached an agreement for Washington University to acquire its campus and St. Louis College of Pharmacy. Pending regulatory approval, the college will become WashU’s 10th academic school following the 2026-27 academic year, opening new opportunities to advance pharmacy education in St. Louis and reaffirming a mutual commitment to preparing the next generation of health leaders.

During this transition, our website may still include UHSP branding. However, our Pharm.D. program continues to offer the exceptional education, hands-on training and opportunities students expect from St. Louis College of Pharmacy.
