We know you are concerned about the admissions metrics—the average test scores, GPA range, and work experience of our student population. But at VSB, there is more to our students than a one-dimensional pie chart. A successful academic track record and a resume that reflects career progress just aren't enough.
Our students are unique. They come to VSB looking for professional growth, personal development, and to challenge those around them to become stronger business leaders. If you’re looking to be in an environment where you are expected to engage, to collaborate, and to question traditional ways of doing business, then you could be a good fit for the Villanova MBA.
