Academics

Message from the Vice President for Academic Affairs

Welcome to Holy Family University’s Office of Academic Affairs, where our commitment to education is shaped by the values of Family, Respect, Integrity, Service and Responsibility, and Learning. Our academic programs, spanning the Schools of Arts and Sciences, Business and Technology, Education, and Nursing and Health Sciences are designed to foster critical thinking, professional expertise, and a deep sense of ethical responsibility. Rooted in Catholic tradition, we prepare students to lead with purpose, both in their careers and in service to their communities.

Our distinctive core curriculum connects Holy Family’s values with workforce and transferable skills in a tiered approach, ensuring our graduates are equipped not only with expertise in their fields but with essential life skills to be successful in any career they choose. Through this curriculum, students gain critical abilities—like communication, problem-solving, and ethical decision-making—and learn to articulate these skills effectively in professional and personal contexts. Our esteemed faculty guide this journey, offering mentorship and hands-on experiences through collaborative research, internships, clinical placements, and service-learning opportunities that enhance students’ academic and professional growth. These opportunities, along with our emphasis on global awareness and community engagement, equip our graduates with the skills and insight to make meaningful contributions in their chosen fields.

At Holy Family University, students find a true sense of belonging. Our vibrant campus community is a place where faculty, staff and students work together, fostering a supportive environment that nurtures growth, learning, and lifelong connections. We invite you to join us, discover your passions, and become part of a university that values your unique potential and is dedicated to helping you thrive.

Sincerely,

Bindhu Alappat, Ph.D.
Vice President for Academic Affairs
