Founded in 1863 by the Christian Brothers, a Catholic order dedicated
to teaching and career preparation, La Salle University is well known
for its emphasis on excellence in teaching. In addition, the University
places a high premium on small class sizes and on close and personal
advisement of every student. In more immediate terms, students do
not “get lost” at La Salle.
The Department of History is among the strongest of the University’s
departments. Each of the department’s faculty has published
numerous articles, most have published books, and many have earned
international reputations as leading scholars in their fields. In
addition, the faculty of the History department routinely earn high
student evaluations for teaching, and four of the faculty have won
the highly coveted Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching.
