VILLANOVA'S STRATEGIC PLAN 2020–2030

Rooted in our Augustinian Catholic values. Restless in our desire to ignite change.

This 10-year Strategic Plan—driven by our shared vision for Villanova—will continue to propel our University forward to a new level of success. It will guide the University forward into our next era of greatness, building upon our strengths and enhancing the Villanova experience for our entire community, including faculty, students, staff, alumni, parents and friends. 

WE ARE VILLANOVA

For more than 175 years, Villanova has been a community that ignites change. Our restless hearts and limitless drive lead us to continually reflect upon who we are, who we want to be and how our Augustinian Catholic values chart our course.

We remain deeply rooted in the traditions and history that forged our community. And ever restless in our desire to become an even greater Villanova.

ROOTED in our Augustinian Catholic Values.

  • Transforming our Academic Facilities
  • Extending the University’s Commitment to Sustainability
  • Continuing to Invest in Leveraging Technology and Data/Analytics
  • Building the Necessary Financial Resources to Power our Strategic Plan
