What Does This Mean for Me?

Pharmacy (pharm.d.) Applicants for Fall 2026

St. Louis College of Pharmacy will be WashU’s 10th college. This agreement secures the long-term viability of pharmacy education in St. Louis and offers expanded opportunities for student pharmacist experiences and outcomes.

Through this transition, St. Louis College of Pharmacy welcomes you to pursue your Doctor of Pharmacy. Our admissions criteria, tuition and fees, and graduation requirements will not change for fall 2026 students.

UHSP, and St. Louis College of Pharmacy, will continue to operate as usual until the end of the 2026-27 academic year. At the beginning of the fall 2027 semester, pending regulatory approvals, the college of pharmacy will continue operations as part of WashU, within its existing location.

More information will be shared here as it is released.
