Philadelphia as a Campus

Learn on a close-knit campus in a connected city.

Philadelphia is the home of Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, many Fortune 500 corporations, eight professional sports teams, and the iconic Rocky statue at the Philadelphia Art Museum. Philly isn’t just historically significant and multicultural — it’s artful, full of diverse experiences, and a foodie’s dream. With all that Philly has to offer, more college undergraduate and graduate students study and stay here than almost anywhere else in the country.

Global opportunities

Because La Salle University is located in the heart of Philly, you’ll have opportunities to develop a network of people who can advance your career goals.  You’ll find coveted internship programs (79% of seniors in the region report having an internship—higher than the national average) that can blossom into employment upon graduation.
