Our faculty teach you both in the classroom and clinical settings. You will enjoy a low student-faculty ratio — an important component of your clinical education. Villanova's nursing faculty are experts in their respective fields and the majority hold doctoral degrees. They maintain clinical practice and are involved with many community and professional activities.

Upon admission, you will be assigned a faculty advisor in the College of Nursing who will provide academic advisement throughout your four years of study. This professional mentor relationship creates stability and continuity for our students, as well as ongoing contact with a professional role model. Student development — both personal and professional — is encouraged. Faculty advise on course selection, career paths, networking, extracurricular activities and available resources. Many of our students form lifelong friendships with the faculty.

"The faculty in the College of Nursing are warm, empathetic, welcoming people. They valued my contributions as a student and served as a guiding source of encouragement during my time at Villanova. They gave me the confidence I needed in preparing myself to practice professional nursing and always encouraged me to work towards my highest potential."
