An Inside Look

What students are saying about us...

  • “Freshman year, I conducted research with a faculty member, and we used expensive, high-tech equipment most students don’t even have access to until graduate school. This and a recommendation from my professor helped me get my internship freshman year at Merck.”

    • Ben Starke, Biochemistry
      Wayne, New Jersey
  • “Going to El Salvador on a mission trip was the culmination of my Seton Hall experience. It allowed me to bring together everything I learned about servant leadership, giving back, and loving my community. It was an opportunity I will never forget.”

    • Kylie Lan Tumiatti
  • “Graduating with a job offer from MTV is a dream come true. I owe it all to the support of Seton Hall’s Career Center and my four internship experiences.”

    • Tiffany Knighten, Public Relations & Journalism
      Los Angeles, California
  • “It was so amazing to sign a full-time job offer by the end of my junior year. It was my dream to join a Big Four accounting firm, and I achieved it thanks to the opportunities and experiences I was exposed to at Seton Hall.”

    • Andrew Aguilera
  • “Something unique about Seton Hall is my one-on-one relationships with faculty. I don’t think I could get that anywhere else—because of the small and discussion-based classes. My professors really want to hear what I have to say. This has helped me so much.”

    • Chloe Magnuson
