Great Location. Greater Possibilities.

Seton Hall’s location puts you at the heart of opportunity. With NYC next door and a welcoming campus in South Orange, you’ll gain career access, cultural experiences, and a supportive community that sets you up for success.

Getting to New York is easy — just a quick ten-minute stroll to town and you can hop on the train and be in NYC's Penn Station in just about 30 minutes. While you're in town, enjoy all South Orange has to offer: diners and pizzerias, banks, pharmacies, Dunkin’, Starbucks, Cold Stone Creamery, South Orange Performing Arts Center, a movie theater, and more.

Seton Hall’s location is more than convenient — it’s a launchpad.  It gives you a tremendous edge when it comes to internship and job placement opportunities. We take full advantage of the Big Apple, the world's largest job market and the capital of finance, fashion, entertainment, art, publishing and international diplomacy. 

And if all the advantage and opportunity of the Big Apple isn't enough, New Jersey — one of the wealthiest states in the nation — is brimming with opportunity too. Seton Hall's backyard boasts a powerhouse corporate corridor of more than 50 Fortune 500 companies, pharmaceutical giants and major corporations. For you, this means real access to mentorship, internships and career-defining experiences.

Our students don’t just dream about careers; they build them. More than 81 percent of students complete at least one internship before graduation, gaining experience at leading companies like American Express, The Associated Press, United Nations, Goldman Sachs, The New York Times, NBC, Prudential, Sony Music, JP Morgan Chase, the State Department, and more. With more than 17,000 internships in our database, students are well positioned to launch successful careers.

Because of our strong national reputation and commitment to student success, more than 550 employers visit campus every year to recruit our graduates, including the Big Four accounting firms, ESPN, Barclay's Capital, Johnson and Johnson, the FBI, Verizon and Prudential. It’s no wonder our career outcomes consistently surpass the national average.

Career advantage is just part of the Seton Hall experience. The location also opens the door to fun, discovery and cultural exploration: ice skate at Rockefeller Center, enjoy dim sum in Chinatown, take in a Broadway show, shop 'til you drop on 5th Avenue, enjoy free concerts in Central Park, gallery hop in SoHo or explore one of the city’s many museums. If you want an escape from the city, visit the pristine New Jersey shoreline; camp, hike or bike our many lakes, parks and lush forests; ride the rapids on the Delaware River or experience Six Flags Great Adventure. Our Student Activities Office regularly organizes trips to major attractions and events, ensuring there’s always something to look forward to.
