Founded in 1842 by the Order of St. Augustine. Villanova's Augustinian Catholic tradition is the cornerstone of an academic community where students learn to think critically, act compassionately, and succeed while serving others. Villanova prepares students to become ethical leaders who create positive change everywhere life takes them.
Over 10,000 undergraduate, graduate, and law students, take part in a variety of degree programs throughout the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the Villanova School of Business, the College of Engineering, the College of Nursing, and the Villanova School of Law. Additionally, more than 20,000 adults have chosen to attend professional certificate programs offered through the College of Professional Studies.
These colleges are the setting for an experience that develops both the heart and the mind.
Villanova's academic experience, rooted in the liberal arts, forms an environment in which students and professors are partners in learning. Every member of the Villanova community is dedicated to providing a personalized experience that fosters every student's intellectual and spiritual well-being.
The strength of the Villanova experience comes in part from the University's welcoming community. All members are bonded together by a shared responsibility to uphold the ideals of St. Augustine and let the principles of truth, unity, and love guide their lives. The Villanova community helps students grow intellectually, professionally, and spiritually, and challenges them to reach their full potential.
