The Villanova School of Business (VSB) was founded in 1922 by Father Joseph C. Bartley, a former dean. Originally known as "The College Of Commerce And Finance" it was renamed "The Villanova School Of Business" in 2006. Villanova was founded by the Roman Catholic Order of Saint Augustine, and Augustinian values of truth, community, caring, and leading through service are infused throughout the program.

The innovative graduate and undergraduate curricula integrate ethics and service, creativity, an analytical approach, and a global mindset in the classroom and beyond.
