NEWS AND EVENTS
Virtual Information Sessions
Join us for a virtual information session to learn more about the admissions process and graduate student life at Villanova. We save plenty of time for Q&A. If you are an international student, we strongly encourage you to attend an international session, as they are designed to address your specific admissions process.
Additionally, Ask Me Anything (AMA) sessions are your chance to hear directly from Villanova graduate students. Each AMA will have a virtual Q&A via Zoom with current students around topics such as graduate student life at Villanova, housing options, funding opportunities and more!
All attendees will receive an application fee waiver code. Space is limited for these events. All times Eastern Time.
