Augustine and Culture Seminar
Foundational to the Villanova undergraduate experience is the Augustine and Culture Seminar (ACS), a two-semester first-year seminar course grounded in the Augustinian and Catholic intellectual traditions. ACS is designed to prepare students for success at Villanova and beyond.
