-The first year core courses were very comprehensive and useful introduction into the multidisciplinary skills necessary for understanding and managing a business. The professors did an excellent job incorporating a wide range of course topics, and current events for rewarding class discussions. I have the unique perspective of having taken four courses with another MBA program (Rowan), before my course work at Villanova. I noticed an improvement in quality of instruction and class engagement. I especially learned a lot from the business simulations utilized at Villanova.
