What Current Students Say See All 14 Comments >

Seton Hall is a small school with small classes that offer one on one experience and dive deeply into the core of business. In addition, because we are so close to New York City, it makes it more attractive because we are located in such great closeness to one of the best cities in the world that is overflowing with opportunity.
