The vitality of the faculty is central in the La Salle experience. From major research in disciplinary specialties, to presentations at national conferences, to the writing of textbooks and other scholarly work, La Salle faculty has proven itself in the academic arena. It is in the classroom, however, where the faculty shines brightest. Some 90 percent of La Salle's 210 full-time faculty have earned the highest degree in their field. The student-faculty ratio is 14 to 1.
