La Salle University

LaSalle University was a great college, but some of the professors were hard to deal with when it comes to computer science, Information technology (IT), etc. There was only one professor in the college was great for everything computer related classes. The other professors were hard to deal with. Coding if difficult with certain professors. The thing that was difficult for coding is certain professors made you handwrite coding, which was not fun at all because I came to code on a computer and not... Read More write. Certain professors teach us how to code, then give assignments we can't code because we have to figure it out ourselves. I remember some of my peers and colleagues there didn't want to help each other because they are too independent. No one will help you. Only one professor would help in my opinion. Don't forget this is my own opinion, maybe you guys would like the professors I didn't like.

La Salle was a great university to attend. The professors in my field were thoughtful and helped you work toward your goals. They were very responsive during office hours or by email. I found the classes to be challenging and interesting. I was a psychology major, but ultimately pursued a career as a PA. My psych background helps me everyday as treat patients. The school itself has a lovely campus, but admittedly it is not in the best area of Philadelphia. As long as you are mindful of your surroundings...

La Salle University, Human Capital Development Program (HCD) is amazing. During the 2 year, 36 credit hours program students will cover a vast range of topics that affect humans in the workforce. Students will enjoy individual and group assignments while learning about subjects such as: Human Capital Legal Environment Organization Development Conflict Resolution Analysis Global Workforce Advanced Negotiation and so much more! The professors in the HCD program are amazing! They have an immense amount... Read More of experience in their individual subject as well as the Human Capital arena. I'm happy I chose the HCD program at La Salle University because I'll be well equip with the information I need to not just manage people but to develop them as well.

I am currently at Temple University here in Philadelphia, PA pursuing a Master's in Public Policy and expect to graduate May 2018. As a Latino male I have seen a lack of Latinos in elected offices and I hope that with my degree I can break through the glass ceiling and inspire other Latinos here in Philadelphia and throughout Pennsylvania to run for office. My program here at Temple University has been challenging yet very fulfilling. I have been able to continue to expand my knowledge for politics...

We have been lucky enough to have the Mayor of Philadelphia (Mayor Jim Kenney) come guest lecture along with the Finance Director and many others as they want us to have all the resources available us to have success in the future as we will be the first graduating class of this new program at Temple University. I would like to thank you for considering me and greatly appreciate your commitment to offering scholarships in a time where student loans and debt for our generation has become the norm.

La Salle houses one of the first marriage and family therapy programs in the nation, and it is one of the largest programs as well. The professors are my favorite part! Their passion for what they do is contagious and inspiring. Every class I have taken has given me the opportunity to learn from professionals who are currently in the field that I want to work in. Many professors have also graduated from La Salle themselves, so they can help you every single step of the way! La Salle also has a great... Read More network of internship opportunities and makes sure that their students are prepared to become amazing and successful counselors. I am so happy that I found this program. I graduate in a year and already have three possible jobs lined up!

Convenient for Philadelphia suburbs because they have multiple campuses. The program is not great. I learned much more as an Accounting undergrad at another Philadelphia city University. La Salle is also not honest about the "specializations" that they offer. I spent roughly 3.5 years earning my graduate degree part-time from La Salle and in that time, only 1 of the 4 required classes to earn an International Business specialization was offered. The administration is not at all helpful and only about... Read More 20% of the professors, that I had, I would recommend. If my company did not pay for this degree, I would not have continued the entire program.

La Salle is smaller than other schools in Philadelphia. My favorite part of La Salle was the small class sizes and the accessibility to professors. Throughout my 4 years, I did not have a single professor that did not know my name and email. Every faculty member was always willing and happy to provide any help you need. Campus is in a rough area in North Philly. I certainly didn't travel off campus alone, however was comfortable walking on campus after dark. There are several security booths scattered... Read More across campus and many emergency call posts. Class sizes and the helpful, caring faculty are definitely the biggest pros of La Salle.
