The MBA program maintains "high expectations" while creating a "class setting [that] is intimate and inviting." La Salle's professors and administrators truly "understand the working student who is trying to balance work, life, and schooling." "La Salle University offers an excellent program with great flexibility for working family members," one part-time MBA student explains. "Satellite schools conveniently located around the suburbs of Philadelphia," so students can attend class close to work or home. Evening and Saturday classes along with intersession and summer courses "help students complete their degrees in a reasonable amount of time." Online and hybrid classes can provide students with full-time jobs or other obligations with greater flexibility as well.
La Salle offers students "small class sizes with professors [who are] willing to help."

As one student explains, La Salle professors "make every project or assignment team-oriented and simulate a true business environment." In addition to "teamwork or group projects in every single class," "presentation skills" are also an important part of the curriculum and "almost every class makes you get up and present." Overall, La Salle students report that their professors are "amazing," "[dedicated] and eager to help."
