My View

"The graduate program is wonderful. The courses are challenging and the leadership preparation is phenomenal."

Sr. Angela Onyemere, Nigeria

“After attending numerous open houses, I knew Villanova was truly my only option. The faculty, staff, and fellow students within the College of Nursing at Villanova become like a second family. They take the time to get to you know you, your likes and dislikes, and they simply care about you and want you to succeed in your program.”
