La Salle University, dedicated in the traditions of the Christian Brothers to excellence in teaching and to concern for both ultimate values and for the individual values of its students, is a private Roman Catholic University committed to providing a liberal education of both general and specialized studies. As a Catholic university, La Salle strives to offer, through effective teaching, quality education founded on the idea that one’s intellectual and spiritual development go hand in hand, complementing and fulfilling each other. The University has, as its basic purpose, the free search for truth by teaching its students the basic skills, knowledge, and values that they will need for a life of human dignity. The programs of the University also aim at preparing students for informed service and progressive leadership in their communities and to fulfilling the immediate and final goals of their lives.

Big news ⭐️

La Salle University is partnering with Catholic Church of Philadelphia (Archdiocese of Philadelphia) to offer students direct admissions pathways and scholarships to La Salle.

Students from all 15 Archdiocesan high schools with a 3.0-plus grade point average (GPA) are guaranteed admission to La Salle and will receive at least $20,000 per year in merit scholarships, as well as an additional $3,000 partner school scholarship. La Salle is the only university in the City of Philadelphia that guarantees college admissions and minimum merit scholarships to students from all 15 of the Archdiocese’s secondary schools.

Thank you to all the West Catholic Preparatory High School, Roman Catholic High School, and Ss. John Neumann and Maria Goretti High Schoold students who joined us to celebrate this exciting milestone. We can’t wait to welcome you to campus soon!
