Ignite Change. Go Nova.
Villanovans are known for a deep desire to ignite positive change throughout the world. Rooted in our Augustinian Catholic intellectual tradition, we think critically, act compassionately and lead while serving others. Your time at Villanova will prepare you to become an intellectually inspired and passionately driven global citizen, ready to make an impact wherever life takes you.
Rooted in the liberal arts, Villanova's rigorous academic experience encourages students and professors to engage as partners in learning. Across six colleges, students pursue more than 100 majors and minors while gaining hands-on experience through research, internships, service opportunities, and collaborative projects. Along the way, they develop the skills needed to address complex challenges and contribute to the common good.
Beyond the classroom, students find countless ways to get involved through student organizations, athletics, service initiatives, leadership opportunities, and professional development programs. You'll find opportunities to make friends, pursue your interests, and discover new passions as part of a vibrant and welcoming community.
Set within the historic Main Line suburbs, Villanova’s two campuses, the Villanova Campus, and the Cabrini Campus, span 371 acres defined by lush greenery and striking Gothic architecture. The Wildcat Shuttle seamlessly connects the campuses and has lines giving access to off campus locations in the surrounding area. Three on-campus train stations make it easy to reach Philadelphia, just 12 miles away, along with many other East Coast destinations.
Villanovans think deeply, act with purpose, and create positive change in the world.
