Nationally Recognized Technology Leadership

Today's Villanova University campus provides online access to an array of information and services, from classroom lectures, to library catalogs, to dining services menus, to on-line course registration, to distance learning opportunities. Villanova offers campus-wide wired and wireless data network access, cellular phone services and access to cable TV, as well as remote computing resources via the Internet. Broadband cable facilitates video transmission to and from more than 100 classrooms for implementation of multi-media teaching technology into the curriculum. Full video conferencing and multi media facilities provide a dynamic dimension to interactive learning. Computer based and digital equipment enable faculty and students to communicate more efficiently, enhance research project capabilities and introduce visual and dynamic solutions to real world situations.

In recognition of the depth and breadth of campus technology at Villanova, PC Magazine in conjunction with The Princeton Review recently named the University, No 1 among "The Top 10 Most Wired Campuses." The college guide's list illustrates the pervasiveness of information technology on campus today. The Princeton Review gathered responses from more than 100,000 college students, as well as data from campus administrators. Through select technology alliances Villanova is able to provide these technologies to the faculty and student body.

Villanova University adopted a student-centered approach that encourages the use of appropriate technology as needed to enhance teaching and learning and to enable best administrative practices.

Partnering with business organizations may be a means to achieve this goal when the areas expertise of the prospective partner complement those of Villanova, and the partnership will add value to both organizations.

Villanova Business partnerships should:

  • Enhance the mission of the University.
  • Preserve the integrity of the University's academic vision.
  • Preserve faculty autonomy.

Villanova's decision to pursue and accept a given partnership will be made by the president or the appropriate vice president after consultation with affected parties.
