Seton Hall's Interprofessional Health Sciences (IHS) campus.
In the 2025 edition of U.S. News & World Report’s Best Graduate Schools, five programs in Seton Hall’s School of Health and Medical Sciences (SHMS) achieved top-third national rankings — reinforcing the University’s stature as a regional and national leader in health professions and healthcare administration.
“The new rankings highlight Seton Hall’s long-standing commitment to excellence in healthcare education,” said Vikram N. Dayalu, Ph.D., CCC-S.L.P., interim dean of SHMS. “Our programs prepare graduates with outstanding academic and clinical training, along with a deep dedication to compassionate care — a hallmark of Seton Hall’s Catholic mission.”
SHMS programs achieved notable gains across disciplines:
Recent volunteer efforts in Montclair and West Orange, NJ.
• The Master of Science in Physician Assistant program climbed six spots to No. 14, placing it among the top seven percent of all
programs nationwide and the No. 2 Catholic physician assistant program.
• The Master of Healthcare Management (M.H.A.) program rose eight spots to No. 33 nationally. It also ranks No. 15 among

in the nation. It is the only M.H.A. program in New Jersey offering both in-person
and online formats.
• The Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (M.S.O.T.) program maintained its status as the highest-ranking M.S.O.T. program
