La Salle University Welcomes Cabrini Students

RADNOR, PA —La Salle University in Philadelphia welcomes Cabrini University students with open arms following an announcement last week that Cabrini is closing at the end of the 2024 school year.

La Salle, a Catholic-based university located at 1900 West Olney Ave., has scheduled visits for Cabrini students on July 12, 14, 17 and 20.

La Salle said the university is making the transfer process simple by expediting the review process, eliminating essay requirements, and guaranteeing admissions to students in good standing.

“We will work with you every step of the way to make this a seamless process that keeps you on track for graduation,” La Salle wrote on its website for Cabrini students available here.

Villanova University announced Friday that a tentative agreement has been reached to buy the Cabrini University campus, which will graduate its last class in June 2024.

La Salle, Villanova, Cabrini, Rosemont, St. Joseph, and Gwynedd Mercy are all Catholic-based universities.

Cabrini has struggled with enrollment, which was estimated at 1,600 in 2022, about 1,000 less than in 2012, according to the state Department of Education Data system.

Rosemont College, Lower Merion Township; St. Joseph University, Philadelphia; Immaculata University, East Whiteland Township, Chester County; and Gwynedd Mercy University, Lower Gwynedd Township, Montgomery County, also have websites and transfer days scheduled for Cabrini students.

All four colleges also have special transfer programs.

• St. Joseph is available here.
• Immaculata is available here.
• Gwynedd Mercy is available here.
