Villanova Summer Business Academy

VSB's Summer Business Academy (SBA) is a full-time, 4-week, cohort-based summer program created exclusively for non-business students. The 6-credit certificate program is designed to be completed in one summer and is targeted to students who would benefit from, and have an interest in, a credentialed, on-campus, introductory business education program. Students earn a Business Certificate through a mix of academic courses, including professional development, via experiential and applied learning opportunities.

For Villanova students, SBA credit may apply to degree requirements in their primary academic college. Students should confirm with their dean's office or primary academic advisor to determine if credits may apply. Non-Villanova students should check with their home institution/advisor about how credits may transfer.

The application is open to Villanova students, and non-Villanova students from any accredited 4-year college or institution. Note: International applicants must be matriculated in a full-time program of study at a U.S. institution.   

Applications will be accepted from January 5 – April 15. Admission decisions are made on a rolling basis. Complete information can be found online at villanova.edu/vsbsummer. Questions should be directed to The Clay Center at VSB at 610-519-5535 or [email protected].
