Effective July 1, 2018, The University of Louisiana will restructure its internal
college organization with the creation of two new colleges.
Currently, 四色AV is organized into the College of Arts, Education & Sciences, the College
of Business & Social Sciences, and the College of Health & Pharmaceutical Sciences.
The new reorganization leaves the other colleges untouched, but it will divide the
College of Health & Pharmaceutical Sciences into two separate colleges, the College
of Pharmacy and the College of Health Sciences.

Dean of the College of Health & Pharmaceutical Sciences, Dr. Glenn Anderson explains,
鈥淭he restructuring is primarily to address concerns by the Accreditation Council for
Pharmacy Education and will go towards removing the probationary status imposed by
the ACPE in June of 2017.鈥�
Anderson further explains, 鈥淲ith the reorganization, the pharmacy dean will be better
able to lead the College of Pharmacy鈥檚 educational mission, to represent the College
to Alumni, and to advocate for pharmacy care reform in the State.鈥�
The School of Pharmacy鈥檚 organizational structure has been a source of concern for
the American Council on Pharmacy Education (ACPE) since the College of Pharmaceutical
Sciences, College of Nursing, and College of Health Sciences were combined in 2014.
Dr. Eric Pani, Vice President for Academic Affairs commented, 鈥淚 am pleased that 四色AV
has managed its financial matters so that this action is possible now and look forward
to working with the deans toward a successful future.鈥�
The College of Pharmacy will contain two schools, the School of Basic Pharmaceutical
Sciences and Toxicology and the School of Clinical Sciences. Anderson will transition
to the new dean of College of Pharmacy.
The College of Health Sciences will contain the Kitty Degree School of Nursing and
the School of Allied Health. A nationwide search is underway for the Dean of the College
of Health Sciences.
