La Salle University’s School of Business has earned a spot among the top 100 business schools in the country for its in-person, full-time MBA program. This recognition comes from the latest U.S. News & World Report (USNWR) rankings, announced on April 8, 2025. It’s a proud moment for La Salle, especially as it is the only other Philadelphia business school in the top 100, alongside the prestigious Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
National Recognition for Excellence
La Salle’s School of Business was tied at rank 100, showing its strong presence and credibility in the national business education landscape. This achievement reflects the school’s focus on academic excellence, strong job placements, and close guidance from experienced faculty.
Michael Moll, Interim Dean of the School of Business, said,
“The value of a La Salle business degree is clear—better job opportunities, higher salaries, career satisfaction, and powerful professional networks. Our programs are flexible, challenging, and led by world-class professors.”
Why the Ranking Matters
U.S. News & World Report ranks graduate schools based on real, updated data such as student enrollment, job placement rates, faculty qualifications, and more. This helps students and families make smarter choices when deciding where to study.
La Salle’s consistent performance in these areas helped it reach this national milestone. It’s not just about numbers—it’s about preparing students for lasting success in their careers.
A Legacy of Quality Business Education
Founded in 1955, the La Salle School of Business offers innovative courses in online, in-person, and hybrid formats. The school is accredited by AACSB International, a prestigious recognition held by fewer than 5% of business schools around the world.
It is also home to Philadelphia’s only accredited sales training center and offers unique programs like:
- A four-year BS/MBA in Accounting to help students prepare for the CPA exam
- Programs in finance, management and leadership, marketing, health systems management, and business analytics
These courses aim to shape future business leaders who not only earn well but also create meaningful impact.
Strong Outcomes and Real ROI
Independent research backs up the value of a La Salle education. A recent report from Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce (March 2025) ranked La Salle 5th among private non-profit universities in Pennsylvania for 10-year post-graduation earnings.
Even more impressively, La Salle stands in the top 10% of public and private institutions nationwide for long-term graduate earnings—clear proof that the education offered here leads to financial success and job satisfaction.
Looking Ahead with Pride and Purpose
This national recognition from U.S. News & World Report is not just a badge of honour—it’s a sign of what students can expect from La Salle’s business programs: personalized attention, practical knowledge, strong job outcomes, and a learning experience that goes beyond the classroom.
La Salle University continues to build on its mission of providing high-quality education that helps students thrive in their careers, their communities, and the wider business world.
