Rooted in the Liberal Arts
For intellectually curious and ambitious students, Villanova is the place to be. Foundational programs in the liberal arts exemplify the Augustinian tradition of blending academic rigor with a commitment to social justice. They launch students into a holistic learning experience focused on academic, spiritual and personal growth. Because the liberal arts are integrated across colleges, students of every discipline are challenged to think independently, read critically, solve problems creatively and communicate effectively, all within the larger context of creating a better world. These professional skills are highly recognized assets among top employers and competitive graduate schools.
