The School of Nursing and Health Sciences has moved to new facilities in St. Benilde Tower on West Campus. St. Benilde Tower, originally Wister Tower of the Germantown Hospital Campus acquired by La Salle in the summer of 2007, has been renovated with new classrooms, labs, and offices. Classes began in the new facility in the spring 2008 semester. To see La Salle’s campus footprint, depicting the new facility's location in relation to the rest of the campus, click here.
Welcome to the School of Nursing and Health Sciences at La Salle University.
Together faculty, staff, and administrators have built and revised our nursing and health sciences programs and helped students learn the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of our respective health care professions. We are very proud of our students and their many accomplishments. We also live our commitment to serving the public by educating undergraduate, graduate, and certificate students to provide safe, quality health care services.
Our Speech-Language-Hearing Community Clinic cares for clients 5 days a week and the La Salle Neighborhood Nursing Center offers public health nursing and social work services in Philadelphia and Bucks counties. The Nutrition Program’s Food Laboratory and Center for Nutrition Policy and Community Programs are now located on the ground floor of St. Benilde Tower. We are very grateful for our location in St. Benilde Tower.
The first academic nursing program offered at La Salle was the RN-BSN Program in the fall 1980. We added the Master of Science in Nursing and basic Bachelor of Science in Nursing later. The Doctor of Nursing Practice began fall 2010.
Speech-Language-Hearing Science Programs presented courses in the beginning during the fall 2000 and the Nutrition Program, spring 2000, the latter having moved from the School of Arts and Sciences to the School of Nursing and Health Sciences. Other programs in the School are the BS in Health Studies and the Master of Public Health Programs.
We hope our students continue to enjoy their educational experiences. We offer programs at Main and Bucks County campuses, Abington Memorial Hospital, and Pennsylvania Hospital. We are indebted to our partners in the health care community who help us achieve our educational and service goals. Our partnerships with the Frank Tornetta School of Anesthesia and Clarke Pennsylvania are two important success stories. We are also gratified by the wisdom that members of our advisory boards bring our programs.
