Founded in 1856 by Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley, Seton Hall is committed to serving as a home for the mind, the heart and the spirit of all who are part of its community. SetonWorldWide supports and extends this mission by delivering high-quality, career-enhancing education. Located 14 miles outside of New York City in suburban South Orange, New Jersey, the University is home to eight school and colleges:
The University offers more than 60 undergraduate majors and concentrations and 45 graduate programs. Known for its compassionate, diverse and collaborative environment, Seton Hall focuses on the academic and ethical development of its students.
