Within the School of Graduate Studies & Adult Education at La Roche, you will find many programs to meet your educational needs -- if you're an adult learner.  What we mean by adult learner is this:  you are earning your master's degree (Graduate Studies); you are earning your first bachelor's degree and you're not directly out of high school (Undergraduate Adult Education); or you are earning your bachelor's degree after you had begun it earlier in your life (Accelerated Degree Completion Program).

Our programs have earned a positive reputation among Pittsburgh area businesses, as well as around the region.  In almost all programs, our focus is on teaching principles and theory that you can actively apply in your job.  Our students and graduates say that one of the primary reasons they enjoyed earning their degrees through the La Roche School of Graduate Studies is the faculty -- they are helpful, experienced in the business world and the classroom, and they work with their students to help juggle the demands of daily life with achievements in the classroom.

For our students' convenience, we offer classes at both the La Roche East Campus in Pittsburgh's North Hills and at Cranberry Woods.  Cranberry Woods is located at the Regional Learning Alliance in Cranberry Township, Pa., a thriving suburban community north of Pittsburgh.  The Cranberry Woods location is a new facility that serves as La Roche's northern location and offers all the amenities of our main campus, including our talented, experienced faculty.

The College is fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Our nursing program is accredited by the National League for Nursing (NLN), and our Health Sciences curriculum is accredited by the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA).
