The college was initially established to serve the sons of immigrant populations in a religiously divided city, providing them with a quality education that helped them to assimilate into American society. &nbsp;The University has conferred more than 60,000 degrees. &nbsp;La Salle became fully co-educational in 1970 and achieved university status in 1984. &nbsp;It remains fully committed to the city and region with extensive community service and service learning initiatives.</span>
