Thomas Jefferson University Combines With Philadelphia University

Thomas Jefferson University (Jefferson) completed a combination with Philadelphia University. Our firm represented Jefferson on all aspects of the transaction, including negotiating the definitive agreements, due diligence, and corporate and regulatory requirements. Consents were obtained from the U.S. Department of Education, the Pennsylvania Attorney General, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, approximately 30 programmatic postsecondary accrediting agencies, the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Now operating as Thomas Jefferson University, the comprehensive undergraduate and graduate postsecondary educational institution delivers high-impact education in a wide variety of areas such as health, science, architecture, design, fashion, business and engineering.
