What makes Villanova Nursing different from other programs?
As an undergraduate student in the College of Nursing you will begin nursing courses in your freshman year and start clinical experiences in your sophomore year. Because the College has no “home hospital” your clinical experiences are in major medical teaching centers and smaller community hospitals and other agencies. You quickly learn to adapt to new environments and gain exposure to a variety of settings, clinicians and specialties. At Villanova, you benefit from a values orientation with 6 credits of philosophy and 6 credits of theology. The majority of our faculty are doctorally-prepared and teach in both the classroom and clinical areas. There are additional study opportunities available, for instance, you may spend your sophomore year abroad. We are also known for the strength of our advising system and student support services.
