Experiential education: career, service & leadership beyond the classroom.
Along with academic preparation, experiential education in the areas of career experience, service learning, and community leadership locally and internationally are vital elements of becoming a servant leader in a global community.
At Seton Hall University, more than 75 percent of undergraduates participate in a university-sponsored experiential education program. These programs educate, motivate and actively engage students in hands-on, real-world knowledge. They range from career experiences such as internships and clinicals to service learning projects to peer advising, athletics, club leadership and study abroad exchanges.

In the National Survey for Student Engagement, Seton Hall students gave the University high marks for providing a collaborative learning environment and experiential-based learning opportunities.
- In this same survey, an overwhelming majority of Seton Hall students, both first-year students and seniors, say there is an emphasis on applying theory to real-world problems.
“The learning is intentional and includes structured reflection, evaluation and supervision, all important elements of experiential education programs.”
