Villanova University Programs: Tuition fees, Ranking, Scholarships, Application Deadlines & Entry Requirements

I think they are very discussion oriented. You learn because you do it! The style is focused not just on lectures but very participative discussions.

The program is very research oriented. It has a 8 week schedule instead of the 16 weeks like other universities. It allows students to pick the electives based on the certification they want so along with a Masters degree they get an additional certification when they graduate. They have a capstone requirement which has 4 options through which you graduate ( A free university sponsored exam, HR certification, thesis or internship report).

I very much enjoy the political science curriculum, but I believe that Villanova has far too extensive core requirements. Liberal arts education is a scam which makes you pay more money to take classes you do not want to take. There is so much useless core that does not contribute to anyone's education.

Villanova is extremely expensive. In total, it gets near $70,000 . However I am very lucky that my parents have helped me to get financial aid through the financial aid office and now I get about half of my tuition off in a grant. However, I know I am a lucky one as Villanova usually does not give any scholarship/grant money.
