Provide a 200 word engaging and interesting summary of the article Pacific College of Health and Science (PCHS) has finalized an agreement for the transfer of its San Diego and Chicago campuses to Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU), effective May 2026, pending regulatory approval. This agreement includes the transfer of students, faculty, staff, and academic programs from the two campuses. PCHS will continue to operate its New York campus independently, with plans to accelerate its multidisciplinary approach and expand its New York campus footprint. SCU, originally founded as a chiropractic college in 1911, currently offers a broad range of integrative health programs. The announcement emphasizes that this transition provides the strongest possible pathway for the PCHS San Diego and Chicago campuses to thrive in the dynamic higher education environment. A significant outcome of this transition is that SCU will become the largest accredited Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) program in the nation. In addition to the campuses, SCU will also assume control of the Pacific Center for Lifelong Learning, the PCHS cosmetic acupuncture program, and the well-known Pacific Symposium. SCU views this as an exciting step in becoming the nation’s first Integrative, Whole Health University, expanding its influence on whole-person care.
