Conducting a college search can be a daunting task for a parent. You want to make sure that your child attends a school that will meet his or her academic, social and emotional needs. You want your son or daughter to be safe, to be challenged intellectually, and to graduate with a degree that will help him or her secure a future full of promise. You also realize that paying for college is no easy task, even if you have been saving money for some time.

At La Roche College, we are committed to helping you fully understand what we have to offer and how we can assist you in financing your son or daughter's education.

We pride ourselves on individualized attention - in the Office of Admissions, in the Registrar's Office, on the athletic field and in the classroom. We want you to ask questions. We'll help you find the answers.

Our History

Founded by the Sisters of Divine Providence in 1963, La Roche College is a private, Catholic, coeducational liberal arts institution that prides itself on molding students into lifelong learners.

We have created a global community of learners from across the nation and around the world.

We've developed our curriculum to help your son or daughter acquire the crucial skills necessary to succeed in their chosen career, but we believe that is not enough. We want your son or daughter to learn how to write and think critically and to understand other cultures.

Academics

La Roche College offers more than 50 undergraduate degree programs and three master's degree programs - everything from chemistry, biology, history and psychology to information technology, graphic design and real estate. Our faculty members are leaders in their field and include a former FBI agent, an award-winning chemist and a Fulbright Scholar.

Our class sizes are small, allowing for one-on-one attention and discussion.



We also have plenty of support services, including individualized advising. In addition, students can utilize the services of the Writer's Center. Professional writers can offer them tips, suggestions and assistance when they are working on a project or a term paper.

Your son or daughter will also have the latest technology at their fingertips. They'll be attending classes in our new state-of-the-art "smart" classrooms, which are wired for Internet access, data transmission, telecommunications and cable TV.

Student Life

When students enroll at La Roche College, they become a members of a vibrant campus community filled with opportunities. We have ten varsity sports, including basketball, baseball, cross-country, golf, soccer, softball and volleyball. Students can choose to join one of 30 organizations and clubs, write for the student newspaper or become a member of the Student Government Association (SGA).

Our four residence halls are wired for Internet access, and many of them have apartment-style suites that include a bathroom, microwave and refrigerator right in your son or daughter's room. Our beautiful suburban campus has a full-service bookstore with a coffee bar, a fitness center, full dining facilities and a take-out Chinese restaurant.

La Roche was ranked as one of the safest college campuses in the United States recently.

The APBnews.com/CAP Index study looked at nearly 1,500 four-year colleges for the survey. The campus is close to a number of restaurants, parks and theaters and is minutes from Pittsburgh, PA.

Money Matters

Ninety-four percent of our students receive some form of financial aid - scholarships, grants, loans or work-study. The average financial aid package totals $13,000. La Roche offers scholarships ranging from $2,000 to $4,500 based on your academic record. If you meet certain eligibility requirements, you could receive as much as $18,000 in scholarship money over the course of four years from La Roche alone.
