La Salle University is a private, not-for-profit institution founded in 1863 by the Christian Brothers. It operates independently of state funding, relying on tuition, donations, and endowments. The university is affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church, emphasizing a Lasallian educational tradition focused on academic excellence and service.
Unlike public universities, which receive government subsidies, La Salle sets its own tuition rates and admission policies.
