LaSalle's one year full-time MBA Program has been a very enriching experience for me. I have had the opportunity to study with students from 12 countries during my tenure at LaSalle. Coupled with our Core Analytical Curriculum, LaSalle accelerates this learning environment by offering personal development workshops, Cross-cultural business etiquette seminars, and Experimental Learning. An intellectually stimulating atmosphere is coupled with an emphasis on personal values, stretched principals and conceptual exploration. I began to realize a sliver of this impact while engaging in the two-week European Seminar during my year of study.

Unique to the program, LaSalle full- time program injects Strategy and analogous courses in Business Law, Enterprise Leadership and Group Dynamics. Coinciding with the University emphasis on personal attention and nurturing relationships, the full-time program offers assistance in CPA, CMA and other post –graduate accreditation.

Cultural diversity, pioneering intellect and a Global scope creates an igniting synergy. LaSalle University has truly provided me with the tools to strike the match. Upon graduation, I will be employed by ACCENTURE."

“The full-time MBA program of La Salle University helped me to achieve the career goal I desired and made a change in my life. As an international student, the experiences I gained in both academic and social setting have had a profound effect on my life. The faculty understands the real world business and the needs of the students in their future career development. You gain real life experience in La Salle, not just in the classroom. La Salle full-time MBA is the best choice I made in my life. Upon graduation, I will join KPMG International. Choose La Salle, choose you future.”

"Two years ago in Beijing, I met the International Programs Director from the School of Business Administration, who was recruiting students in China. This meeting changed my life. La Salle’s FTMBA Program gave me a totally fresh and concrete knowledge of the REAL business world. The well-balanced structure of the courses and the great correlations among courses enable me to combine theory with practice. And at the same time, instead of directly solving the problems for me, La Salle’s faculty was always willing to lead me to find my own way. Now, I’m a doctorate candidate at Temple University, majoring in Statistics. I really cherish my two years at La Salle and I believe the LaSallian experience will benefit me for my whole life."

Studying abroad influenced my future in more ways than one: education, career, and personal development. There are many other ways, but I selected the three most important to share with you. First, I have always enjoyed learning and the MBA classes I experienced in Brighton and France helped me to understand there are many different ways to learn. The structure the classes involved more independent studying; whereas, La Salle courses emphasize classroom engagements. This difference allowed me to explore new ways of learning that prepared me for the future as I pursue my doctorate degree.

Secondly, studying abroad impacted the direction of my career path. As the world is becoming more global, businesses and employers expect employees to be aware of the issues affecting the future of their companies. Therefore, it is important to develop global skills that allow you to outshine other job candidates when beginning your career. My professors at La Salle always integrate the international aspect of “real world business” in my courses; however, sitting in the meeting rooms of international businesses and learning first hand from them greatly enhanced this knowledge.

Finally, studying abroad has enhanced my personal development. Living in another country can be challenging and overwhelming because you do not know anybody and you are not familiar with the country. However, this is what I enjoyed most about studying abroad. I gained new friends from all around the world and explored England, France and many other countries, too! I have an increased understanding of my own cultural values and also appreciate the values of other cultures.

I cannot stress how thankful I am to the FTMBA at La Salle providing for me the opportunity to study abroad. Of course, it is not always “picture perfect”, but neither is life and you need to learn to deal with those obstacles…and what better way to do it than studying in another country."

"I would like to share with you how La Salle University’s FTMBA program exposed me to the compelling competitive world of business. After completing an undergraduate degree in Communications, I was confused about my career path. I wanted to expand my knowledge and improve my career prospects; however, I did not have a definite plan of action. The advisors and faculty at La Salle spent time meeting with me, discussed various options and collaboratively we developed an initial lay out for my career, which we improvised every semester. By the time I was ready to graduate, I had achieved my final goal, and I was hired as an analyst with PFPC Inc, an investment firm.

There are not enough schools today that show the genuine caring and concern that La Salle University shows to their students. Speaking for international students, sometimes we need a little more"
