The mission of the School of Arts and Sciences was defined through a series of strategic planning meetings and is stated as follows:
In keeping with the mission of La Salle University, the School of Arts and Sciences is dedicated to excellence in teaching and to developing the full intellectual, personal, and social potential of our students in an environment of mutual respect and cooperation. The faculty and staff of the School of Arts and Sciences provides a liberal education of both general and specialized studies for its own students and for those from the Schools of Business and Nursing. The undergraduate and graduate programs of the School also aim at preparing students for lifelong learning, informed service and progressive leadership in their communities, and for fulfilling the immediate and final goals of their lives. Through its graduate programs, especially, the School strives to support the career aspirations of students and to meet the needs of society, now and in the future.
With the shared mission of the Christian Brothers, we are a community passionately engaged in the process of enriching ourselves as teachers, researchers, and scholar-learners through the power of enhanced academic experience. Faculty and staff in the School of Arts and Sciences believe a liberal academic experience should provide the opportunity for the mutual advancement and sharing of the excitement of learning for its own sake. |
