Some programs also offer fully online or hybrid options. If you are interested in multiple disciplines, you can also explore enrolling in two programs. You can earn a degree and a certificate, or two master's degrees. For Villanova undergraduates, we offer many Combined Bachelor/Master's Programs.

Generally, students enrolled in master’s degree programs complete all the requirements for their degree in two years, although students are permitted up to six years to complete their degree. Students enrolled in a PhD program are permitted up to eight years to complete their degree.
