Seton Hall University

[EduCativ]

One of the country's leading Catholic universities, Seton Hall University, has been developing students in mind, heart, and spirit since 1856. Home to nearly 10,000 undergraduate and graduate students and offering more than 90 rigorous majors, Seton Hall's academic excellence has been singled out for distinction by The Princeton Review, U.S. News & World Report, and Bloomberg Businessweek.
Seton Hall's 58-acre main campus is located in the quaint town of South Orange, New Jersey, only 14 miles from Manhattan.
The University's nationally-ranked School of Law is located in nearby Newark, N.J. Our new Interprofessional Health Sciences (IHS) campus, situated in Clifton and Nutley, N.J., opened in July 2018. The IHS campus houses Seton Hall's College of Nursing, School of Health and Medical Sciences, and the new Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine at Seton Hall University.
Seton Hall University is a major Catholic university. In a diverse and collaborative environment, it focuses on academic and ethical development. Seton Hall students are prepared to be leaders in their professional and community lives in a global society and are challenged by outstanding faculty, an evolving technologically advanced setting, and values-centered curricula.
While Seton Hall enjoys a big reputation, our campus community is also close-knit and inclusive. Students, faculty, and staff come from around the world, bringing with them a kaleidoscope of experiences and perspectives, creating a diverse yet unified campus environment.
Your experiences at Seton Hall extend way beyond the classroom. From Housing and Residence Life to The Career Center, Health Services, Public Safety, and Security and Counseling and Psychological Services - The Division of Student Services help you successfully navigate all aspects of your college career.
There are several pastoral support services on campus, many of which are offered through our Campus Ministry office. Campus Ministry staff help guide the Christian conscience, educate for peace and justice, and develop future leaders through many educational, worship, prayer, and social awareness activities.
As a student, you are always learning - whether you are joining a Greek organization, spinning discs at our award-winning radio station, WSOU, writing for the student newspaper, The Setonian, or serving as a member of our Student Government Association. From student media to sports to professional societies to religious organizations, our 100-plus clubs and organizations run the gamut.
Continuing Education -- with its diverse offerings of credit, non-credit, degree, professional certificate, and training programs -- helps job-seekers and lifelong learners discover what works to enhance their lives and achieve success. Our programs are taught by distinguished faculty and industry experts. Schedules are flexible and designed for people with busy lives. We offer corporate and small business training, as well as small group and independent learning opportunities.
Over 400 international students representing 70 countries call Seton Hall their home while studying in our ESL, undergraduate, masters, and doctoral programs.
Core Curriculum is rooted in questions central but not exclusive to the Catholic intellectual tradition. Seton Hall's Signature Courses stress student self-knowledge, a passion for intellectual and ethical engagement, and the development of critical thinking, thoughtful communication, and servant leadership habits for a diverse and evolving world.
Seton Hall University's Core Curriculum is an approach to general education that encourages students to become thinking, caring, communicative, and ethically responsible leaders with a commitment to service. The Core Curriculum consists of six standard courses and the systematic development of five academic proficiencies through the study of the liberal arts and sciences.
It does not take much time on the Seton Hall campus to realize that you are part of a community guided by faith. Whether this first becomes apparent when you see priests eating alongside you in the cafeteria or when walking past our beautiful historic chapel, you will quickly learn that our Catholic tradition is a big part of who we are.
From its founding in 1856 as Seton Hall College to the present day, Seton Hall has been dedicated to supporting the vision that its founder, Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley, described as providing "a home for the mind, the heart, and the spirit."
Its Catholic roots have made the University a home that is open to people of all faiths, creeds, and colors. The seeds of diversity at Seton Hall were planted almost from its birth during its first twelve years, and Seton Hall enrolled more than 500 first-year students from 17 states and six foreign countries. The University continues to reflect its students' growing ethnic scope and the increasing diversity of the Church and society it serves.
The College of Communication and the Arts combines Seton Hall's traditional strengths in the performing, visual and media arts with close ties to New York City — the nation's media and cultural capital. The college's innovative programs offer interdisciplinary study, invaluable experiences in the media, and mentorship opportunities from eminent professionals through its artist-in-residence program. And the innovative curriculum focuses on the skills employers look for most: communication, teamwork, creativity, and adaptability.
