La Salle University Reviews

"The communication program at LaSalle is an excellent program because of the mix of theory and practical assignments that really prepares you for real world experiences. Courses include public relations planning, theory, effective presentations, social media, and research methods. The workload is medium to heavy and the professors are very supportive and fair. They will work with you and are very understanding. They have a nice mix of adjunct professors who have years of experience in their respective fields as well as professors whose experience is mostly in academics. The courses are also a nice mix of online, in-class and hybrid. The only complaint that I have, and it is a major one, is the administrative services at LaSalle. The computer lab is not accessible 24/hrs a day and there are not enough meeting spaces or technology equipment. The administrative offices basically support the undergrad students and financial aid is the worst. They really do not provide a lot of support in terms of helping graduate students determine the options that they have in terms of financing their education. And there are times when the entire campus just shuts down completely. So while I was not impressed with administration, the program itself was the best.Read Less"

"I am currently in the MS Nonprofit Leadership program. All classes are online but the program still offers a sense of community between fellow students and faculty. If students are local to Philadelphia the program offers a student committee which allows the MS students a chance to socialize with each other and organize events for NPL students. Overall, I am very happy with the NPL program."

"My Graduate Program faculty are talented and knowledgeable. I recommend this school to any person who works full time and want to go back to school in the evenings. The hours are practical, work load is fine and they are highly motivated"

"I enjoyed the Communication Department at La Salle. I also ran Track. I think it helps to belong to an extra-curricular at this school, as most students were part of a sports team or fraternity/sorority. I thought La Salle did a good job at preparing me to get a career. I did feel that it was very much of a "suitcase" school - I would also pack up and head home on the weekends. It is a very small school, which is also something to take into consideration. If I had to do it over again, I would probably go elsewhere. But, I do recommend their Communication program.Read Less"

"The class sizes are relatively small and students have access to professors. However, there is not much career support for graduate students."

"My program is online, so in terms of teaching relevant materials through an online format, my program does a great job. However, I feel that there are some pros and cons with an online program. The pros are convenience, flexibility, and the ability to self-pace the workload. However, there can be communication issues and a lack of support, so the student must really make an extra effort to reach-out to necessary staff and students for extra assistance."

"The quality of the program and the professors outweighs any of the cons of the area!"

"Administration is extremely helpful in all departments."

"I am currently taking classes at the Plymouth Meeting campus at the Metroplex and it is extremely convenient for me since I work nearby. The program really works well with students who work full time. The class times and locations are convenient. The professors are great!"

"La Salle University provides me with the opportunity to diversify my experience in general psychology while offering internship match-rates above the national average. This school offers minimal scholarships and assistantships."

"The Professional Counseling program is challenging and thought-provoking. The program offers a wide range of classes and the professors are very helpful. However, the location of the school may be considered in a dangerous area."

"LaSalle is a great school that works well with students who are working full time."

"La Salle University is a great college to attend. The location is amazing, there are so many things to do in Philadelphia and transportation is easily accessible. My program has really interesting and challenging courses that apply exactly to the knowledge I need for after I graduate and am working in the field. For internships, there are tons of places La Salle is associated with that get you interviews over other candidates. The Marriage and Family program is competitive but everyone still gets along and works well together. However, my program is not very tech-savvy. Our professors use videos, keep up to date with emails, and Blackboard for powerpoints and other information we need, however, the classrooms are outdated. Scholarships and financial aid makes going to La Salle affordable and lets dreams come true!Read Less"

"I am a Clinical Psychology student and ever since I walked into the Psychology Department Office for my interview, I felt at home. The faculty are experts in a vast array of areas within the field and are able to provide my classmates and I with the valuable training that makes us, as a program and as professionals, the future forerunners of Psychology. Furthermore, a large portion of the faculty are involved in what the La Salle Psy.D. program calls "Self Care". This group produces a newsletter called "Take Care News" which speaks to the importance of taking care of oneself while pursuing a graduate degree. It is clear the faculty are dedicated to both the professional and personal development of their students and their efforts are shown through the success of La Salle's alumnis. Because La Salle is a small private school, funding for latest technologies in every building is limited. As a graduate student, I would this to change so that La Salle's students are able to better access materials needed for school, socializing, and self-care.Read Less"

"La Salle University's Counseling and Family Therapy Program provides excellent training and preparation for the field. The faculty are very knowledge and available to students for advice not only about course work but future opportunities once you graduate."

"I believe that this program offers a lot of information and experience in the educational world. The teachers are excellent and are always available to help you when needed. Class sizes are small so teachers are able to really learn the strengths and weaknesses of the students. Although I love this school and the program, it is very expensive as a private school and offers very little/no scholarship money to graduate students."

"I have not been in the graduate program for a very long time, but so far I can already tell it is going to be very challenging and time-demanding. The teachers are fairly old for the most part but they do attempt to make the classes somewhat interesting. The workload is just very heavy."

"I'm currently a first year grad student at La Salle University (major: Comm-PR). So far, my overall experience within the program has been rewarding. The faculty, staff and my fellow students are all welcoming and more than willing to offer a hand. I am enjoying my studies at La Salle and can confidently say, I made the right choice."

"Being a working mom, the La Salle Masters program in Information Technology Leadership is perfect for me. All classes are offered online, and the professors realize that most of us are working professionals and that we also have other commitments outside of school."

"The professors are skilled, knowledgeable and committed. They make use of varied and interesting readings and stimulate good class discussions. Most classes meet at night and serve a working, commuter population. Despite this, classes are collegial and students connect to help each other with research and general encouragement."
