Villanova University is a Catholic university in Villanova, Pennsylvania, founded in 1842 and sponsored by the Order of St. Augustine. When classes are in session, Mass is celebrated twice each weekday in Corr Chapel and four times on Sundays in St. Thomas of Villanova Church, with confession three times a week and weekly Thursday adoration. Every undergraduate college requires THL 1000 Faith, Reason, and Culture; most also require an upper-division theology course and PHI 1000; the College of Engineering does not require philosophy and the College of Professional Studies' interdisciplinary degree requires one theology course.
