“Villanova students have a very strong sense of self—and an equally strong moral compass. Our students grapple with real-life issues relating to ethics and social responsibility—and graduate with a sense of maturity and thoughtfulness that benefits them for the rest of their lives. Villanovans tend to be highly trusted by their employers, promoted quickly, and viewed as exceptional corporate citizens.”
