Through our E-Learning program, professors and students who are separated by physical distance are able to bridge the instructional gap and can complete a graduate engineering degree entirely online. Whether you are pursuing a graduate certificate or a master’s degree, our online degree program provides the flexibility you need, without compromising the quality of your education.
E-Learning students have identical course material, instructors and semester pacing as students in the on-campus classroom. In fact, because our program is synchronous, you’re welcome to attend class on campus whenever your schedule permits. Your diploma will not indicate that you completed your degree via "E-Learning," it will simply reflect that you earned your degree from Villanova University’s College of Engineering.
Online Program Features:
- Participate in real-time by logging in from anywhere in the world with internet access.
- Access archived class material at your convenience, 24/7.
- Download class material so you can review it anywhere – no connection required.
- Earn your degree entirely online or supplement online courses with those on campus.
- Access your lectures years from now. Your class is a virtual reference library.

Complaint Process for Distance Education Students
Villanova University is approved by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA). NC-SARA is a voluntary, regional approach to state oversight of postsecondary distance education. Participation in NC-SARA enables prospective and current students located in all SARA member states and territories to enroll in approved distance education offered by all six colleges at the University.
Students enrolled in distance education programs should follow the University’s established internal complaint process.
Students residing in SARA member states and territories who are not satisfied with the outcome of the institutional process can appeal the decision to the Pennsylvania Department of Education, by following the Student Complaint Procedures. Please note that complaints about grades and student conduct are governed entirely by Villanova’s institutional policies. For more information on NC-SARA’s policies, please visit the SARA Student complaints webpage. Students can also contact the appropriate agency in their home state or territory. For a complete list of consumer complaint contact information by state or territory, please reference this list.
