Villanova Summer Business Academy Certificate Program

The Summer Business Academy will not be accepting applications for Summer 2026.

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 online certificate program is designed to be completed in one summer with peers from other non-business majors. The program is targeted to students who would benefit from, and have an interest in, a credentialed, introductory business education program. The program is conducted during Summer Session 1 (end May - end June) so that participants may pursue additional commitments, internships, etc. throughout the remaining weeks of the summer. Students earn a Business Certificate through a mix of academic courses, including Excel, and professional development touch points, via synchronous and asynchronous course instruction and learning.

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.
