'''''Business 100: Business Perspectives''''' Business Perspectives is an all encompassing entry level business course that exposes students to all aspects of business and how they work together. The goal of this course is to provide students with knowledge of: how to work in teams, how to create a business plan, and how to use the Internet and library databases to research information for a business plan. Individual career exploration is also facilitated through an individual career development portfolio project. '''''Biology/ ISBT 474: Life Sciences Innovation''<br/>''' <span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Translational science is a relatively new discipline that works to move basic research and technology out of the laboratory into commercial ventures that allow all people to benefit from the discoveries. This discipline is dependent upon the integration of science and business i.e. scientists and business people must work closely together to create successful commercial ventures. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Unfortunately the integration of science/technology and business has been slow to occur within institutions providing undergraduate and graduate training for the next generation of scientists and entrepreneurs.</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style= "font-family: Helvetica;"> </span><span style="font face=-family: Helvetica;"times new roman>To address this gap, Life Science Innovation was developed. The course was created in partnership with the Wistar Institute to provide students with hands-on science/technology commercialization projects leveraging existing intellectual property (IP) from Wistar. Teams of three students will select Wistar IP/technology that Wistar believes has commercial potential.Teams will include students from different majors. The students will familiarize themselves with the underlying science/technology by directly interacting with the inventor scientist, identify the problem(s) the science/technology addresses and define key commercialization issues such as IP, market opportunity, competition, regulatory pathways, and potential customers. At the end of the course the students will develop a report and presentation that includes the scientific merit, value proposition, timesand overall commercial feasibility of the science/technology. The final report and presentation will also be directed to potential investors, serifexplaining how much funding would be required for commercialization and how that funding would be used. The goals of this course are to: 1) P</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">rovide students with a hands-on, real-world life science entrepreneurship opportunity 2) </span><span style="font-sizefamily: 16pxHelvetica; white">Expose students to cutting-edge, translational science research</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-family: preHelvetica;"> 3) </span><span style="font-wrapfamily: Helvetica;">Develop an integrative understanding of the innovation lifecycle. </span> = '''FACULTY INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP ''' = The La Salle Center for Entrepreneurship (LCE) also provides support and engagement opportunities for alumni and faculty.The Center for Entrepreneurship has tailored programs that meets today business development needs.

When you become a La Salle student, you join a community that includes teachers, scholars, and mentors who truly care about you, your academic and professional success, your intellectual and spiritual growth, and your potential to make a difference in the world. La Salle is one of six colleges or universities in the United States founded in the tradition of St. John Baptist de La Salle, the patron saint of teachers and founder of the Christian Brothers. At La Salle, you gain the skills and knowledge you need to succeed after you leave campus, and the values and traditions that will stay with you when you do. La Salle University is currently taking an initiative approach to make collegian education more affordable to all students. La Salle University calls this initiative "An Affordable Path for All". Furthermore, La Salle is addressing the problem of the escalating cost of college by resetting their undergraduate tuition from $40,400 to $28,800. This 29% reduction will open to door for many new students to tke part in what La Salle has to offer. This tuition reset will take effect in the Fall 2017.</<div>== Academic Mission (School of Business) ==</div>La Salle University’s School of Business offers educational programs that prepare students for a purposeful life by integrating Lasallian values with current business management skills. Through its faculty, curriculum, extracurricular activities, and relationships with the greater Philadelphia and national business communities, it provides a value-centered educational community as the locus for its educational programs. Within this context, the School of Business seeks to provide an appropriate blend of contemporary business theory and real-world practice, placing paramount importance on teaching and on learning enriched by scholarly research and professional activity. The program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in business consists of 120 credits (minimum of 39 courses) for business administration, business systems and analytics, finance, international business, management and leadership, and marketing majors, and 128 credits (minimum of 41 courses) for accounting majors. The liberal arts and science studies and business foundation courses tend to be concentrated in the first two years, and the professional studies in the last two years.<div>== Academic Mission (School of Arts & Sciences) ==</div>La Salle University’s School of Arts and Sciences offers general or liberal arts programs in science and mathematics. Within these two areas the student may further specialize in a major field of study. In the liberal arts, the Bachelor of Arts degree is offered in American Studies, Art History, the Classics, Communication, Criminal Justice, Economics, Education, English, French, German, History, Italian, Philosophy, Political Science, Religion, Russian, Sociology, and Spanish. Concentration in the science area may lead to a B.A. degree in Bio-chemistry, Chemistry, Computer Science, Digital Arts and Multimedia Design (DArt), Environmental Science, Mathematics, or Psychology; or a B.S. degree in Biology, Computer Science, Geology, Information Technology, Mathematics, or Integrated Science, Business, and Technology. The School of Arts & Sciences also offers programs designed as preparation for health professions, law, public administration, teaching, social work, and work in criminal justice. The Bachelor of Social Work degree is conferred upon Social Work graduates.<div>== Academic Mission (School of Nursing) ==</div>Nursing is an art, science, and practice profession which provides nursing services to diverse individuals and groups. Nurses value the relationships between nurses and those for whom they care. Nursing services aim at facilitating the health of people in many settings, thus fulfilling a contract between society and the profession. Nurses’ primary interests are human responses to health, illness, and healing. Nurses carry out many roles when providing nursing care and increasingly support nursing interventions based on evidence. The nursing community at La Salle respects the shared humanity of the people they serve and recognizes the potential for healing within the person, integrating mind, body, and spirit. Students bring experiences to the learning environment while actively engaging in a transformative process of continuing development as ethical, caring practitioners. The teaching- learning environment fosters scholarship, collegiality, respect, and collaboration among learners and teachers, resulting in informed service to others and the profession. La Salle’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing program prepares its graduates to qualify for the National Council Licensure Examination (state board nursing examination) to become registered professional nurses and to practice as members of the nursing profession. The four-year, full-time, 126-credit program leading to the BSN provides the student with a strong foundation in the liberal arts and biological sciences in preparation for 14 nursing major courses, nine of which include clinical practice components in a variety of health-care settings.<div>= '''BUILDING THE FUTURE OF LASALLIAN BUSINESS''' =</div>In January of 2016, La Salle University opened the new school of business, Founder's Hall. This $35 million dollar project offers gathering places and technology-equipped breakout rooms where students can converse with faculty, other students, and business executives. Spaces are designed to facilitate the collaborative learning and teamwork environment that is necessary in today’s business world. This building symbolizes La Salle’s commitment to innovation & entrepreneurship. Due in part to the new building opening, La Salle has seen a rapid spike in enrollment as students look to make the next steps in their academic careers.<div> = '''LA SALLE UNIVERSITY LANDSCAPE CANVAS ''' = ='''RELATED LINKS ''' = [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/La_Salle_University_Student_Priorities <b>La Salle Student Priorities</b>] University Innovation Fellows Spring 2018: [[Kathiana Cajuste|Kathiana Cajuste]] [[Roger_Malerba|Roger Malerba]] Spring 2017: [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Luis_F._Almonte <b>Luis Almonte</b>] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Nicholas_Dingler <b>Nicholas Dingler</b>] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Isaac_Prentice <b>Isaac Prentice</b>] Spring 2016: [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Terry_Li <b>Terry Li</b>] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Joanna_Szyszkiewicz <b>Joanna Szyszkiewicz</b>] Spring 2015: [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Kenneth_Brewer <b>Kenneth Brewer</b>] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Trans_Lualhati <b>Trans Lualhati</b>] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Onesimus_Morrison <b>Onesimus Morrison</b>] [[Category:Schools]][[Category:La_Salle_University]]{{CatTree|La_Salle_University}}
