Why did you choose Seton Hall for Graduate School?
Seton Hall University was a perfect choice for me, given its small yet very impactful
program. When I attended the open house, I noted the importance placed on putting
students at the heart of diplomacy, which is reflected in the proximity to the UN
headquarters in New York and the Washington, D.C. area, where numerous opportunities
are available.
What stands out about the School of Diplomacy?
The valuable resources and support provided by the School of Diplomacy and its faculty in terms of knowledge, access and a rigorous curriculum that prepares students for contemporary politics.”
