COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
Our NASPAA-accredited M.P.A. program is ranked as a Best Program for Nonprofit Management by U.S. News & World Report.
The College of Arts and Sciences teaches and researches the liberal arts and sciences, the fields of independent inquiry that teach people how to think constructively, creatively, and responsibly in a free society. Its graduate programs incorporate the latest methodologies and technology with care for the lives of others and for students’ purpose in the world. The College’s faculty includes Fulbright Scholars and best-selling novelists; recipients of major grants from the National Institute of Health, National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, NASA, and National Endowment for the Humanities; and servant leaders who help the local communities. They mentor students on original, meaningful research in their laboratories, archives, and neighborhoods. They will transform the way students think and empower them with the experience, knowledge, and connections to make a difference.
Seton Hall’s master’s degree in social work is an exemplary program that provides a rigorous — yet innovative — education, preparing students with relevant, results-oriented instruction to excel and prevail in the professional world.

COLLEGE OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT CULTURE AND MEDIA
Our Online Master’s in Education Leadership, Management and Policy program is a top-ranked by U.S. News & World Report.
Professional Counseling graduates achieved a 90% pass rate on the National Counselor Examination.
Uniting scholars and students from four dynamic departments, the College provides cutting-edge, transdisciplinary inquiry into some of the most challenging problems of our time.
Expression underpins all facets of the new College’s portfolio — media as a form of education and artistic expression; teaching and learning as modes of creative expression; self-expression as a vehicle of social agency. From counseling to education, law enforcement to leadership, students are grounded firmly in their chosen discipline while expanding their perspectives through collaboration — setting them apart in their ability to lead in a variety of fields and solve pressing problems in society.
These are the kinds of leaders who will use their knowledge and experience to create positive change in their communities and beyond.
The faculty are not only passionate about their subject matter; they’re committed to helping students develop the skills and knowledge needed to be successful school leaders. To this day, I know that I can reach out to any of my former professors for guidance at any time.

The school’s master’s programs are designed to provide students with the knowledge and ability to effectively meet the challenges of careers in government, business, international organizations and civil society.
Through its intimate learning environment, students thrive in small, multicultural classes, and benefit from an open-door policy and a culture of collaboration where they work alongside faculty and administrators as colleagues.
At the School of Diplomacy and International Relations, students are prepared to prevent problems facing our world, not simply to fix them. As such, they are influencing policy and working for change.
My graduate specialization is foreign policy analysis. I am considering a career in international finance, combining politics and social and economic issues. My career goals are evolving as I learn and grow at Seton Hall.

The Law School also offers fully online Master of Legal Studies and Graduate Certificates for non-lawyer professionals working in highly regulated industries.
While my immigration process to the U.S. was easier than most, it required significant resources and navigation of a system with little help or information readily available. Because of my experience, I aim to use my math and education skills to improve legal access and representation.

STILLMAN SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
The Stillman School of Business at Seton Hall University was established in 1950 to provide education geared toward the complex, practical needs of business leaders. As the first private business school in N.J. to earn accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International), the School continues to maintain professional accreditation from AACSB and is the only school in northern N.J. with both business and accounting accreditation.
The Stillman School’s M.B.A. program is included in The Princeton Review’s “Best Business Schools” and is a U.S. News & World Report “top business school for parttime M.B.A.s.”
The School’s educational focus is on transforming concepts into practice. Accordingly, its curriculum extends beyond the four walls of a classroom. Stillman’s location and strong alumni connections provide students with a wealth of learning and career opportunities, including access to some of the most prominent employers in the world.
The analytical skills and strategic thinking I developed during my M.B.A. in Business Analytics program provided me with a solid foundation to approach complex educational challenges with a data-driven mindset.

IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
SEMINARY SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY
100% of graduate students report that ICSST provides academic instruction and formation in fidelity to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
For over 150 years, Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology has provided a rigorous, graduate-level theological education coupled with pastoral and spiritual formation to equip the men and women preparing for ministries among the people of God. The School’s graduate programs seek to deepen the spirituality and Catholic faith of students as they discern a response to their vocation and calling to serve the Church.
At ICSST, students study under excellent professors and with lay people, consecrated religious and seminarians, resulting in a culture that cultivates not just academic excellence, but a model of collaborative leadership the Church needs now more than ever.
At ICSST, I found much more than a top-notch academic environment in which I could explore theological interests and establish a solid foundation for my work as a theology teacher and pastoral minster. I also found a nurturing and encouraging community, a place where I felt like a valuable contributor, a unique individual with something to share.
