From Villa Maria College

At Villa Maria College, it's OK if you're still figuring out what's next. In fact, it's encouraged. Villa is a place where that kind of exploration and continual discovery has been prized since our founding in 1961. Because going to college isn't about having it all figured out - it's about inventing who you're going to become. You'll see.

Villa Maria (Buffalo, NY) offers 18 academic programs that prepare students for careers in some of today's most in-demand and highest-paying industries. This includes game design, graphic design, computer software development, digital filmmaking, physical therapy assistant (PTA), occupational therapy assistant (OTA) and more!

The College's 9:1 student-to-faculty ratio means that every student gets an individualized education - and uninterrupted access to all of the facilities and equipment they need to succeed. Ninety-nine percent of Villa students receive some form of financial aid! Our experienced financial aid counselors will work with each family to help make college affordable and attainable for all.
