Learning Beyond the Classroom
Your experience will be shaped by more than just your classes at La Salle. Keeping with Lasallian tradition, we believe that all knowledge is practical and empowering and provide learning opportunities beyond the classroom that allow students to develop the skills they need to succeed in their professional lives.
Accounting Analytics Lab
The Analytics Lab enables course instruction to go from the theoretical to the practical. Instead of faculty demonstrating how to work with data, the lab lets students collaborate and do the work themselves. They can model different possibilities, divide projects into different tasks, and learn by doing. It bolsters not just familiarity with the programs students will work with in the industry, like Power BI, Python, and Alteryx, but it also allows them to experiment with writing software to automate tasks and to learn how to arrive at and present conclusions.
Business Scholars Co-Op Program
Business Scholars Co-Op Program (BSCP) students complete two full-time co-op work experiences as part of their degree, earning a salary, receiving academic credits, and gaining practical experience in their field of study. Scholars are selected based on their academic and leadership experience and receive mentorship and coaching. Learn more.
