About La Salle University
La Salle University offers its diverse community of learners a rigorous curriculum designed to help students gain theoretical and practical knowledge; deepen their ethical sensibilities; and prepare for a lifetime of continuous learning, professional success and dedicated service. As a Catholic university rooted in the liberal arts tradition, La Salle challenges students to contemplate life’s ultimate questions as they develop their faith, engage in a free search for truth, and explore their full human potential.
As a Lasallian institution named for St. John Baptist de La Salle, patron saint of teachers, La Salle promotes excellence in teaching and scholarship, demonstrates respect for each person, nurtures mentoring relationships and encourages authentic community. All members of the community are called to maintain a heightened sensitivity to those marginalized within society as they practice civic engagement, provide leadership with a global perspective and contribute to the common good.
Today, La Salle offers a variety of fully online options for students interested in combining academic quality, flexibility and convenience. For students desiring to start or complete a degree, prepare for a new career, or enhance professional skills, La Salle can help achieve those goals within a collaborative online learning environment.

Agreement/Transfer Information
Core-to-Core/Dual Admission Agreement with Bucks
Under this agreement, LaSalle University's Core requirements will essentially be fulfilled by completing the Associate of Arts degree in the transfer majors designated below (see Program Articulations) with a grade point average of 2.5 or better.
Students who graduate with the designated associate degree program must complete "core qualifiers". For most programs, this requirement is:
- (1) religion course
- (1) philosophy course
- (1) introductory computer science course (CISC100, CISC110, or CISC115 at Bucks)
The qualifying courses can be completed at LaSalle (within the final two years of study) as the student proceeds through his or her program of study at the University. However, if applicable, students may be able to complete "qualifier" courses as part of their program at BCCC, as long as these credits are within the maximum of 70 credits permitted in transfer.
Dual Admission
Students will complete an online Dual Admission Application (make an account first) before completing 45 credits at Bucks. The Dual Admission Form will serve as the application to La Salle University, indicating the student's interest in attending La Salle after completion of a designated associate degree program at Bucks. Once that student has completed the Dual Admission Form, he or she will be required to forward all final transcripts from Bucks to La Salle to verify that conditions of this agreement have been met. There is no fee required for the Dual Admission Form.
