Diversity

Villanova is a community of diverse scholars that are unified by the goal of educational excellence. As a multicultural student, you will receive an education enriched by a supportive faculty that teaches from a global perspective.

At Villanova, we believe that a well-rounded education enables students to develop an appreciation of other cultures. For example, each first-year student at Villanova participates in the Augustine and Culture Villanova Seminar which includes course work on cultural diversity. Additionally, our College of Liberal Arts and Sciences offers concentrations in areas such as Africana Studies, Latin American Studies, and Arab and Islamic Studies.
