Faculty at VSB are nationally-recognized for their passion for teaching. The VSB emphasis on community—which is fundamental to Villanova's Augustinian tradition—requires a faculty body that is as committed to teaching as it is to research.

Economics faculty—through their research and teaching—are committed to keeping VSB curricula agile, innovative, and relevant. For example, the faculty are now redesigning the sequence of the undergraduate micro- and macro-economics curriculum to mirror the standard schedule of release dates for national economic data. This adaptation will not only add a new dimension of excitement and interest to the coursework, but will allow faculty to seamlessly integrate textbook learning and real-world data.

Faculty members regularly consult with business community members to ensure that the curriculum is relevant and reflects global business practice. In addition to providing input on the curriculum, corporate partners often serve as guest lecturers. In recent years, VSB has welcomed speakers from companies including Delta Airlines, Accenture, CB Richard Ellis Group, Verizon Communications, and Column Financial.
