Vision Statement
Vision: Villanova will be recognized as one of the nation's
leading Catholic universities by virtue of the vibrancy, effectiveness, and distinctiveness
of the undergraduate education it offers, the quality and impact of its graduate
programs, and the excellence of its faculty.
- The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
will remain the heart of the academic enterprise, providing excellence in Liberal
Arts education to its students and a distinctive foundation for undergraduates enrolled
in other colleges throughout the University. The College will promote growth in
high-quality master's and doctoral programs that serve the growing national demand
for post-baccalaureate education.
- The School of Business will be recognized
as the top Catholic undergraduate business program in the United States and as one
of the Philadelphia region's premier graduate business programs.
- The College of
Engineering will be recognized as the leading Catholic engineering school in the
nation, a benchmark for excellence, distinctiveness, and innovation.
- The College
of Nursing will be recognized as one of the three leading Catholic schools of nursing
in the United States and recognized nationally for its superior undergraduate education
and the distinctive focus of its graduate programs.
To achieve this vision, Villanova
for the remainder of the decade will pursue four goals:
- Provide a distinctive, holistic,
and values-based undergraduate education
- Advance distinctive and rigorous graduate
education and scholarship
- Recruit, support, and retain a talented, diverse, and
caring faculty
- Serve as an intellectual and cultural resource for the extended local
community
