Does Part-Time Studies offer a degree that is specifically
designed for adult students?
The
Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies degree was created specifically to meet
the needs of adult part-time students. Fewer required courses and more electives
provide flexibility to choose courses that are of interest to you, while the curriculum
reflects the trends within today’s society and workplace. Majors currently
available are General
Studies, Information
Systems and
Leadership Studies.

If I just want to take one or two courses at Villanova, how
can I do this?
Part-Time Studies serves
a consistently large number of post-graduate and special status students who wish
to take individual courses for a variety of reasons, including preparation for graduate
school, professional advancement and personal enrichment. A completed part-time
application and requested credentials are required for
admission.
Once accepted, post-graduate and special status students will work with an advisor
to assist them with course selection and registration.

Does Villanova allow transfer credits and provide adult students
with additional, non-traditional ways to earn credit?
The University will accept 60 credits in transfer (for appropriate coursework) from
other regionally accredited institutions with grades C or higher. However,
part-time students will discover an
attractive array of options
that will help them to earn additional credit. They include CLEP, the College
of Arts and Sciences’ Credit-By-Examination program,
accelerated
courses called FastForward, distance learning opportunities and a variety of
1-credit weekend seminars.

How
does Villanova support the adult learner?
The Office of Part-Time
Studies takes great pride in providing excellent personal service to our students.
Questions and concerns are addressed promptly and courteously. Individual
advising appointments are available to all students through evening hours in both
in-person and telephone format. Regular email communication keeps our part-time
students informed and “at home” in our community. Key administrative information
and services are available via the web—and these run the gamut from our on-line
part-time orientation, e-payment, as well as access to the library, career services,
computer support and campus parking. Our students also benefit from academic
support services, which in addition to advising, also include individual tutoring
and access to writing and mathematics labs.
