Mission

The Bilingual Undergraduate Studies for Collegiate Advancement (BUSCA) Program, a four-semester Associate of Arts degree program at La Salle University, offers Hispanic students a unique opportunity to transform their lives and their futures.  In an inclusive learning community that focuses on the distinctive academic challenges of bilingual students, BUSCA students are supported by a nurturing yet demanding faculty and staff in their pursuit of developing their foundational knowledge, improving their academic and language skills, deepening their intellectual curiosity, and increasing their self-confidence.  BUSCA graduates are equipped to continue their education and to become lifelong learners and empowered bilingual leaders in our communities and society.
