Increase your salary, get your degree in your spare time - FREE Application to University of Phoenix for a limited time

Villanova University is a private university located in Radnor Township, a suburb northwest of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States. Founded in 1842 by the Augustinian monastic order, the university can trace its roots back to old Saint Augustine’s Church in Philadelphia, which the Augustinians founded in 1796, and to its parish school, Saint Augustine’s Academy, which was established in 1811. Villanova is the oldest and largest Catholic university in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. For more than a decade, Villanova University has been ranked #1 by U.S. News and World Report in the Best Universities-Masters category in the northern region. Villanova has a number of highly regarded academic programs, including an engineering school that is ranked #11 among undergraduate engineering programs whose highest degree is a masters by U.S. News and World Report. The School of Business was ranked #12 in the 2007 Business Week rankings of undergraduate business schools, #87 in the 2006 U.S. News and World Report rankings of undergraduate business schools, and #29 in the Financial Times’ ranking of top executive MBA programs. In December 2006, PC Magazine and The Princeton Review ranked Villanova #1 in its review of top “wired colleges” in the United States. Villanova is home to a Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) program which has commissioned more U.S. Navy admirals and Marine Corps generals than any institution but the U.S. Naval Academy. In 2004, Villanova was recognized for having more participants in the Habitat for Humanity Collegiate Challenge than any other university in the United States. The school, which was called the “Augustinian College of Villanova,” opened in 1842, and graduated its first class in 1847. In recognition of its enhanced academic programs and reputation, Villanova achieved university status on November 18, 1853. During the 1970s and 1980s, Villanova embarked on a campaign to become a nationally recognized university. Villanova University offers bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral, and professional programs through its five divisions: Dean: Kail Ellis, O.S.A., Ph.D. Under coach Jay Wright, Villanova’s men’s basketball team reached the 2005 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16, losing to #1 seed and eventual champion North Carolina by 1 point on a disputed traveling call on Allan Ray. Led by senior guards Randy Foye, and Allan Ray, the Villanova men’s basketball team began the 2005-2006 year ranked #4 in the major polls from USA Today and the Associated Press. The 28 wins during the 2006 campaign represent the most victories for any Villanova Basketball team. Along with Saint Joseph’s’ trip to the Elite Eight in 2004 and Temple University making the Elite Eight five times since 1985 this remains the closest any of the Philadelphia Big Five have come to a Final Four berth since the 1985 Villanova title. The bi-weekly Villanova Times broadsheet student newspaper is supported by alumni donations, not university funds. The crest of Villanova University is an adaptation of the historic seal of the Order of St. Augustine. Its design reflects the Catholic heritage of Villanova University, founded by the Friars of Saint Augustine, and dedicated to St. Thomas of Villanova, under the patronage of Our Mother of Good Counsel. Villanova University is also home to the Liberty Bell’s “Sister Bell,” the replacement bell ordered from the Whitechapel Bell Foundry after the original bell cracked in 1753. The friars of St. Augustine had the “Sister Bell” recast and transferred to Villanova University. The Sister Bell is currently enshrined in the Falvey Memorial Library on Villanova’s campus. The three buildings most commonly discussed as being haunted are Alumni Hall (located by St. Thomas of Villanova church on the main campus), St. Mary’s Hall and Dundale (both located on the west campus).

My brother went to Villanova and my son-in-law went to Villanova and I have been following the basketball teams since Jack Kraft was the coach. My son-in-law said go to Villanova. I am 58 years old and had a stroke about ten years ago. I worked for New Jersey Bell for 33 years and had to retire. I am walking better and my arm I don't have no control and was wondering what they'll do about tuition. Thanks
