I understand admissions to the bus school is much harder than arts and sciences. If you really really want to attend Villanova and are not serious about the business school, it may be better to apply to arts and sciences. An econ major in arts and sciences has some overlap.

I was told that the way for an arts and sciences major to get a business minor is to go the Summer Business Institute. You get a full semester worth of credit in one summer for $10K. The money you would otherwise earn during the summer would be made up for by the reduced tuition — vs. paying $20.5K for tuition a regular fall or spring semester.

There is also on-campus housing available for the summer business program. Or, if you get a year-round lease starting at the end of your 3rd year in a private apartment, you would have housing anyway for the summer.
