As of Oct. 8, 2024, La Salle has placed the Integrated Science, Business, and Technology (ISBT) major on pause and is not accepting applications at this time. Students currently enrolled in the program will be able to complete their degree on time.

What You’ll learn

Integrated Science, Business, and Technology (ISBT) is a unique major that integrates multiple fields of study to master the process of innovation. The three areas of focus – energy and natural resources, information management, and biotechnology – equip students with a multidimensional ability to solve complex, real-world problems.

The ISBT curriculum emphasizes teamwork and critical thinking skills and employs hands-on, active learning styles to engage the whole student. ISBT graduates are well positioned to pursue careers in science and technology as inventors, project managers, analysts, and entrepreneurs.

After meeting with Dr. Nancy Jones on my visit to campus, I immediately fell in love with the program, ISBT’s mission, and all of the opportunities it could yield after graduation. From that moment I have never looked back and still to this day am extremely thankful I made the decision to choose ISBT as my major.
