La Salle's School of Business is proud of our initiatives and the outcomes of our corporate partnerships. These partnerships provide many benefits for our business students – networking opportunities, insight into practical business trends, and funds for renovations to the School of Business classrooms.

Throughout the semester, freshmen in our Introduction to Business course, designed in conjunction with Johnson & Johnson executives, work in teams to develop business plans and attend lectures presented by nearly 50 corporate executives, many representing the J & J Family of Companies. At the conclusion of the semester, student teams present the business plans and are evaluated and judged – with each winning team receiving cash rewards – by business executives from a variety of companies and industries, many of whom are School of Business alumni.

Internships and full-time and part-time Co-op opportunities are available to all business majors who meet the academic requirements. Co-ops are available to students in the Business Scholars Co-op Program. Through these experiences, students can gain business perspectives outside the classroom, build their résumés, and still graduate within four years.
