Academics
Education is available for nearly every type of student at Seton Hall including undergraduates, graduates, continuing education, non-traditional students, international students, commuters, and others. The degrees are as diverse as the student body and the university states almost half the student population consists of people of color. Students have access to study abroad programs to continue in their diverse educational opportunities.
The types of degrees available are extensive and allow students to complete continued learning at all stages of their careers; these include dual degree programs, certificates, summer sessions, undergraduate and graduate programs, special programs, and international initiatives. Students can pursue career-focused programs as well as professional degrees in the various schools and colleges such as arts and sciences, business, communication and the arts, diplomacy and international relations, education and human services, health and medical sciences, law, medicine, nursing, and theology.
As with most of the best colleges and universities today, Seton Hall is committed to providing as much experiential learning as possible. One way the university offers such advantages is through more than 20 centers and institutes. The 14 to 1 student-to-faculty ratio is part of the reason for the 83% retention rate, as well as the 67% and 73% four-year and six-year graduation rates. It is possible the graduation rates are not higher due to the fact Seton Hall has a more challenging curriculum than many public universities of the same size.
