Villanova Theology?

[VictorEremita]

Anyone familiar with Villanova's theology program? I realize that it's not a "ranked" department, but does anyone have anything more to say about the quality of the faculty or placement?  I applied after learning that they do seem to offer reasonable funding for MA students. They also appear to have a fairly strong placement record, according to the department's website.

 

I know Villanova's philosophy department is strong and I'm drawn to Walter Brogan's work on Nietzsche and Heidegger. The theology graduate director has assured me that I could dialog with the philosophy department and do a thesis in the philosophy of religion. If so, Villanova seems like an attractive option if indeed funding is offered and my applications are denied elsewhere. They have been very proactive in recruiting me though phone calls and frequent correspondence. I'm not a terribly competitive candidate, so it's nice to feel wanted somewhere.

 

Thanks in advance.
