Two Philadelphia universities took a significant step toward an acquisition when they announced a formal merger agreement last week, outlining a process to be completed in the summer of 2022. Terms call for the 2,400-student University of the Sciences to merge into the 6,800-student Saint Joseph's University, creating a larger institution keeping the Saint Joseph's name and operating both universities' campuses for the foreseeable future. The two private universities said in February that they were exploring a deal after the University of the Sciences approached Saint Joseph's.
