A Liberal Arts Education
A Saint Mary’s undergraduate education is a liberal arts education. This means that while students focus on a particular major as preparation for future careers, they also study subjects outside of their major area—with the goal of creating well-rounded, critical-thinking, future citizens of our globally interdependent world.
English Language Assistance
Saint Mary's De La Salle Language Institute offers two programs to undergraduate international students who require English language assistance. Our comprehensive English as a Second Language (ESL) program helps students prepare for the TOEFL exam, and our unique English Language Bridge (ELB) program serves as a transition between full-time ESL study and full-time undergraduate study.
