Saint Joseph’s College accomplished its acquisition of the College of the Sciences on Wednesday, creating what the Jesuit establishment says is likely one of the three largest non-public universities within the aggressive Philadelphia area.
With the deal officially done, Saint Joseph’s has near 400 full-time school members, an endowment totaling $550 million, annual income of $400 million and enrollment of practically 8,900, counting each undergraduate and graduate college students. It has added a brand new metropolis campus, about 5 miles away from its suburban campus. And it is touting the addition of bodily remedy, occupational remedy, pharmacy and doctor’s assistant applications, giving it a complete of 221 tutorial applications.
Wednesday’s closing ends a course of for the College of the Sciences that dates again to the summer time of 2020, when it began searching for a accomplice. The establishment, which was based in 1821 and operated underneath a number of names over time — together with the Philadelphia School of Pharmacy and Science — sought extra scale in order that its applications might proceed into the long run.
The College of the Sciences efficiently discovered a accomplice earlier than its funds compelled it to take action — a notable reality in a world of upper training mergers and acquisitions the place schools are typically compelled to shut after failing to finish offers. Additionally notable is that the establishments had vital variations. The College of the Sciences was a secular establishment being acquired by a Catholic establishment, which solid into the limelight the church’s stances reminiscent of its opposition to contraception.
That left quite a bit to debate with Saint Joseph’s President Mark Reed and Provost Cheryl McConnell, who answered questions concerning the acquisition and the steps wanted to see it via.
This interview has been edited for readability and brevity.
HIGHER ED DIVE: How did the acquisition course of go because the settlement was first made public final yr?

CHERYL MCCONNELL: The sheer scope of the work within the final yr is gorgeous in its depth and breadth. We anticipated that it might be quite a lot of work, and it was. Additionally, it was satisfying and thrilling work.
It began with the willpower of a brand new college construction, after which it went to the willpower of which applications could be continued, modified, taught out, introduced over as is, after which it went to workforce planning and to integration and orientation.
With greater ed mergers, you may have extra teams with a say and a stake within the consequence than you may in different sectors.

MARK REED: What makes universities completely different from, say, for-profit firms is we’ve got constituents: school, college students, workers, alumni, native civic leaders, accreditors, mother and father — you identify it. And there’s a lot of decentralization of authority and quite a lot of shared governance that makes universities run.
This is not 4 or 5 individuals who go right into a room with a bunch of legal professionals and are available out 5 months later with a solution.
On the similar time, you may’t run a college by committee. So there needs to be a steadiness of these specific roles.
Did you run into any sudden boundaries or challenges?
REED: From my perspective, there was not an enormous one. It’s a must to simply continuously remind people concerned of what’s really occurring.
For instance, we’re going to have, now, as a part of Saint Joseph’s College, a major footprint within the well being professions house. We’re going to have applications in doctor assistant, bodily remedy, occupational remedy and, after all, pharmacy, which is the foundational program that the College of the Sciences was based on 200 years in the past.
It’s a crucial half of what’s a broad-based portfolio that has continued to be grounded in our Jesuit mission and Jesuit custom, which is grounded within the liberal arts and sciences.
It is a merger. However you understand, the truth is, on the finish of the day, it is one establishment. That is Saint Joseph’s College. The time period acquisition is not used as ceaselessly, however that is in impact what it’s in a sensible actuality. I am the president. Saint Joseph’s College’s board is the board, all of these sorts of issues.
That does not imply take two issues, put them collectively, and now you have received two of all the things. I will provide you with a really in-the-weeds type of instance. We’re switching our HR payroll finance system from Ellucian Banner to Workday. It is one thing the college would have accomplished, in all probability, anyway 4 or 5 years from now. However we noticed a possibility to say, “Look, College of the Sciences has already made this funding. Let’s carry this ahead and try this now.”
MCCONNELL: A lesson realized is to probe for cultural variations early, notably in communication.
Do you imply variations in communication frequency or format?
MCCONNELL: It is each. It’s frequency and stage of element and objective. Largely the communication from the president at Saint Joseph’s College is presidential-level, long-term technique. It was extra operational on the College of the Sciences. Identical factor with the provost communication. It was very a lot top-down on the College of the Sciences, and we use our deans to be the leaders of the tutorial models.
REED: One is not essentially higher than the opposite.
In some circumstances it is the dimensions of the establishment, the complexity of it, the place an establishment is in its present considering and technique.
Did it’s a must to lay anybody off due to this transaction?
MCCONNELL: The College of the Sciences had about 170 school, and we introduced over roughly 140 of these school. So all tenured school, all school in applications that aren’t duplicative, after which nearly all of the opposite school members.
REED: We did a radical workforce planning evaluation as a part of this, and in some circumstances there have been positions that won’t be introduced ahead into Saint Joseph’s College. Whereas this was minimal, we appeared on the Saint Joseph’s facet, too, and stated, “OK, is there one thing right here that does not make sense anymore?”
It wasn’t only a one-way avenue, though it actually was extra impactful for the College of the Sciences.
There actually was a radical evaluation of it, and individuals who aren’t going to proceed at Saint Joseph’s are being handled very properly. Transitional assist, severance and the like.
MCCONNELL: Each school member that was not retained acquired a full yr’s wage.
One laborious dialog that got here up earlier than the deal closed concerned contraception. Some students were upset that the College of the Sciences would not be offering contraception via the coed well being heart after the deal closed.
REED: As a Jesuit and Catholic establishment, we’ve got a really clear mission and really clear identification, and it has been our observe at Saint Joseph’s and, I imagine, our observe is wholly constant and customary amongst different Catholic and definitely Jesuit establishments throughout the nation.
We don’t dispense contraception to our college students, both nonprescription contraception like condoms or prescription contraception reminiscent of contraception capsules. And we’re not a pharmacy, so our pupil well being heart isn’t an pressing care clinic. It isn’t affiliated with a hospital or medical group. It is a supplemental pupil well being heart.
We don’t have any restrictions by any means on our college students by way of their use of contraception, both prescription or nonprescription.
The College of the Sciences was allotting to a really small variety of college students. My understanding is it was lower than 10 college students. They have been really allotting prescription contraception, and our view is we simply do not dispense pharmaceuticals.
Two different factors: Contraception — in accordance with the regulation and in accordance with long-standing observe right here at Saint Joe’s and, once more, in line with observe at different Catholic Jesuit establishments — for workers, contraception is roofed underneath our medical insurance plans, and for college kids who select to buy a pupil medical insurance plan, contraception can be lined.
MCCONNELL: Within the analysis space there are not any limitations on analysis for anybody on the college. I might say the one exception to that’s reside stem cells from fetuses. That will be the one restriction in any respect.
What else ought to we discuss?
REED: This can be a actually huge deal for us and I feel greater training, and particularly, greater training within the Philadelphia area, which is saturated with establishments — Catholic establishments in addition to state-related establishments and different privates.
Usually these sorts of institutional strategic selections actually play themselves out over 20, 30, 40 years.
The place the Faculty of Well being Professions and applications are going to be 10, 15 years from now, that is the thrilling half.
We have been round for 175 years. The College of the Sciences has been round for 200 years. We as leaders as we speak are making choices and creating situations. We all know others, finally, will write the remainder of the story.
