THE VILLANOVA EXPERIENCE
The Villanova Experience in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences creates intellectually inspired, morally grounded graduates who have a global perspective and are prepared to lead, innovate, solve problems and work collaboratively in any endeavor.
Our students’ academic journey is both challenging and rewarding—enabling students to discover truth and meaning through knowledge exploration that goes beyond subject matter expertise to the realm of insight and wisdom.
“The core curriculum of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences provided a firm backbone in multidisciplinary research: as I advanced in my pursuit of my degree, the greater the variety of courses within the college I took, the more fascinating connections between history and theology, art history and language, and Latin and Italian syntax I found.”

At CLAS, student success occurs both inside and outside the classroom. Internships at top organizations prepare our CLAS graduates for careers that require creativity, analytical skills and communication expertise. As a result, our alumni are shapers of our economy and culture.
“No matter what college you are in, there are so many experiences that can help you explore your interests and discover the career path you want to pursue. Villanova's experiential learning opportunities introduced me to amazing people who have truly impacted my life and helped me learn more about who I am and what I am passionate about.”

Conducting mentored research with our outstanding faculty can be a transformational experience. From the time students start at Villanova, they can work side-by-side with faculty who are advancing knowledge that has a real-world impact.
“Dr. Benjamin Sachs has helped me immensely during my undergraduate career through suggestions with my research project, guiding me through statistical analyses and always being a text or call away if I needed anything. Having him as a mentor is one of the most valuable aspects of my Villanova career, as he continues to see the best in us all.”
