SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. — Slippery Rock University is launching a College of Health Professions, which will put all the school’s health care-related undergraduate and graduate programs together.
The university has been working behind the scenes, under Inaugural Dean John Bonaguro, to prepare for what could be a launch of the new college in January 2022 or by the fall. It got official approval Friday by SRU’s Council of Trustees. It’s SRU’s fifth college.
