Nearly 100
executives volunteer their time each year during our
Executives-on-Campus Program to come to classes to meet with students.
Many of the business clubs set up field trips to area businesses so
that students can see professional operations firsthand.
Continuous
quality improvement processes ensure that the many offerings of the School of Business are of the highest
quality. The program is accredited by AACSB International - The
Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, which
establishes standards designed to ensure excellence. Approximately 25%
of the nation's 1,200 colleges and universities are accredited by AACSB
International. In addition, programs are regularly evaluated in terms
of standards established by various professional bodies such as the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the American
Management Association, and the American Marketing Association; and
through an ongoing dialogue and review with business executives and
professionals. Every year, La Salle
inducts the top 10 percent of its graduates into Beta Gamma Sigma, the
international honor society for students enrolled in AACSB
International accredited schools.
In addition, the
Business Advisory Board, which is comprised of senior executives from
companies throughout the Delaware
Valley, advises
the Dean of Business on contemporary developments in business practice
and how to help students prepare for professional careers. A La Salle University business major, has a
number of competitive advantages. Real-world experiences and academic
preparation put the student on the right path for a successful career
and a rewarding life rooted in the Lasallian tradition.
The program
leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration
consists of 120 credits (minimum 44 courses) for Finance, Management,
Management Information Systems and Marketing majors, 128 credits
(minimum 46 courses) for Accounting majors. The liberal arts and
science studies and business foundation courses tend to be concentrated
