St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, from whom our University takes itsname, had a lifelong commitment to education. As visionaryand principal architect of our country’s parochial school sys-tem, her deepest and most dearly-held conviction was to formresponsible citizens capable of bringing to society the wisdom,knowledge, competence and integrity it so desperately needs,then as now.

“It has been the only desire of my soul to know the Truth,”Mother Seton once wrote, nearly two centuries ago. As ourUniversity prepares to celebrate its Sesquicentennial – 150years of service to you, the students who are the most impor-tant members of our community – I can say without hesitationthat our desire remains the same: The courses contained in thiscatalog have as their ultimate goal that truth which ourpatroness sought with her whole heart, mind and strength.

Truth in all its wonderfully rich and varied aspects, theologi-cal and scientific, philosophical and literary, is the stated aimand essential characteristic of a Seton Hall education whichseeks to form servant leaders willing and able to give somethingof lasting value to the society in which they live and work.

Please keep this in mind as you glance through the pages ofthis catalog and prepare for the academic year. In selecting yourcourses, know that you are embarking on a great adventure andfollowing thousands who have gone before you, each pursuingthat truth which alone sets us free.

Godspeed on this, one of the great adventures of your life!

From the Provost

“The University’s faith and justice commitments will inform all itsefforts in supporting faculty and educating students to be servantleaders in a global society.”FROM THE UNIVERSITY VISION STATEMENT

As you consult the Seton Hall University Catalogue for infor-mation regarding admissions, programs, degrees, etc., I suggestthat you keep in mind, as well as take to heart, the passagefrom the University Vision Statement, found at the bottom ofthis page. This passage highlights and explains Seton HallUniversity’s unique and noble focus on leadership. This focuson “educating students to be servant leaders in a global society”reflects the elements of Seton Hall’s tripartite identity: first, theCatholic intellectual tradition; second, the heritage of the liber-al arts and sciences; and third, professional training.

The model of the servant leader is the thread that runsthrough and binds the components of Seton Hall University’stripartite identity. Servant leaders are precisely what is requiredin our ever more interconnected world, in which issues ofmorality, politics, finance, etc., grow more complex and chal-lenging by the day.

So, as you use this catalogue to make decisions regardingyour studies, remember that Seton Hall’s courses and degreeprograms are designed not only to provide information but alsoto impart wisdom.

Knowing the difference between genuine wisdom and mereinformation constitutes one giant step toward knowing whatservant leaders are all about.

SETON HALL UNIVERSITYUndergraduate Catalogue 2004-05

University OverviewSeton Hall University was founded in 1856 by Bishop James

Roosevelt Bayley, the first bishop of Newark, who named itafter his aunt, Elizabeth Ann Seton, a pioneer in Catholic edu-cation and the first American-born saint. The University is theoldest diocesan university in the United States.

Nestled on 58 acres in the suburban village of South Orange,New Jersey, Seton Hall’s campus is home to eight schools andcolleges: the College of Arts and Sciences, the College ofEducation and Human Services, the College of Nursing, theSchool of Diplomacy and International Relations, the Schoolof Graduate Medical Education, the Stillman School ofBusiness, Immaculate Conception Seminary School ofTheology and University College.

Seton Hall’s ninth school, the School of Law is located inNewark, New Jersey.

A Tradition of Christian ValuesSeton Hall University is founded on and defines itself and its

academics, student life and community programs on aChristian understanding of the nature of the world and thehuman person. With a tradition of quality education based onChristian values, the University takes pride in its concern forthe intellectual, ethical and spiritual development of its under-graduate and graduate students.

Religious beliefs and values are taken seriously at Seton Hall.The University emphasizes the importance of religious and ethi-cal concerns to all areas of human inquiry. With RomanCatholic teaching and tradition as a life-enhancing and enablingvision, the University calls on its students to explore and appreci-ate all that is the best and most humane in the world.

Seton Hall is Catholic not only by its charter and mission,but also by its ongoing spirit and activity. There exists a basictenet at the University that religious faith is vital to life and itsmeaning. This tenet provides a context in which the Universityhas and will continue to define and develop its identity.

At the same time, Seton Hall is committed to bringingtogether people of different races, cultures, religious traditions,lifestyles and ethnic backgrounds into a community that isrespectful and supportive. This commitment has helped toestablish a truly multicultural community in which all peopleof good will are welcome.

Seton Hall strives to develop the intellectual, social and reli-gious talents of its students so they may live their lives respon-sibly, generously and successfully.

Academic Programs: A Commitment to ExcellenceAt the undergraduate level, Seton Hall offers more than 60

majors and concentrations, as well as many minors, certificates,and interdisciplinary and other special programs. These curric-ula are continually evaluated and enhanced to meet the chang-ing educational, professional and technological needs andexpectations of our increasingly complex society.

One thing that has remained consistent, however, is theUniversity’s commitment to individual attention: With over350 full-time faculty and many adjunct faculty, the average

class size is just 20 students, and the student-faculty ratio is 15-to-1. In addition to a highly dedicated and accessible faculty,the University offers comprehensive academic advising andcareer development programs, as well as a diversity of specialservices designed to assist students in their academic, personal,professional and spiritual development. At Seton Hall, studentsfind people who are willing to listen, offer support and helpthem achieve their goals.

The University also encourages students to enhance their aca-demic preparation through involvement in extracurricular activ-ities, such as student government; student professional organiza-tions; internships and cooperative education experiences; varsity,intramural and club sports; recreation and fitness activities; fra-ternities and sororities; community service; cultural programs;and ethnic and other special-interest organizations.

A Window to the Wider WorldSeton Hall is in the midst of one of the world’s most cosmo-

politan centers of education, business, publishing, art andentertainment. The University’s close proximity to New YorkCity (which is 14 miles from South Orange) allows students toexplore the best that the “Big Apple” has to offer, includingmuseums, plays, concerts and sporting events. In the city aswell as throughout areas of New Jersey, students take part infield trips, internships, cooperative education assignments andcommunity service activities. And with the increasing impor-tance of international business, communication and govern-mental cooperation, many students elect to pursue internation-al study programs.

The History of Seton HallFrom its original enrollment of a handful of students, Seton

Hall grew rapidly. During its first 12 years, the Collegeenrolled more than 500 freshmen from 17 states and six for-eign countries. The seeds of diversity at Seton Hall were plant-ed almost from its birth.

Seton Hall always has reflected the growing ethnic scope ofits students and the increasing diversity of the Church and soci-ety it has served. In the 19th century, in spite of setbacks, majorfires, lean times and the Civil War, the College continued toexpand. By 1937, Seton Hall established a University College.This marked the first matriculation of women at Seton Hall.The University became fully coeducational in 1968.

The years after World War II witnessed unprecedented growthfor Seton Hall as it responded to the needs of thousands of veter-ans seeking higher education. The College was organized into auniversity in 1950, comprising the College of Arts and Sciencesand the schools of Business, Nursing and Education. The Schoolof Law opened its doors in 1951 and the John C. WhiteheadSchool of Diplomacy and International Relations was establishedin 1997, and formally named in 2002.

The next two decades saw the construction and moderniza-tion of a large number of facilities and the construction of thelibrary, science building, residence halls and the UniversityCenter. Many new programs and majors were inaugurated, aswere important social outreach efforts. New ties were estab-lished with the private and industrial sectors, and a growing

partnership developed with federal and state governments increating programs for the economically and educationally dis-advantaged.

The ‘70s and ‘80s continued to be a time of growth andrenewal. New business and nursing classroom buildings and anart center were opened. In 1984, Immaculate ConceptionSeminary returned to Seton Hall, its original home until 1926,when it moved to Darlington. With construction of four newresidence halls between 1986-88, and the purchase of an off-campus apartment building in 1990, Seton Hall now providesliving space for approximately 2,100 students.

The physical development of the campus continued in the1990s. In 1994, construction was completed on the $20 mil-lion, four-story Walsh Library. This facility provides first-classstudy and research resources to undergraduate and graduatestudents, faculty and scholars from around the world. Theopening of Walsh Library is symbolic of Seton Hall’s transfor-mation from a small, local institution whose library housed thepersonal collection of its president to a major national universi-ty with library holdings of nearly 500,000 volumes.

The opening, in September 1997, of Kozlowski Hall, SetonHall’s newest academic center, was a clear example of theUniversity’s commitment to technology and the expanding role ofinformation technology in higher education. A six-story, 126,000square-foot facility, Kozlowski Hall houses the Stillman School ofBusiness, the College of Education and Human Services, theCenter for Public Service and the Department of Psychology, andprovides a wide range of teaching spaces - from seminar rooms toa 390-seat auditorium. All classrooms in the building are wired toaccommodate notebook computers, and many of the lecture hallsare equipped with distance-learning technology.

The 1956 centenary history of Seton Hall concludes withthese words: “Seton Hall University’s great boast and claim tofame is not predicated on expansion, buildings or even curricu-lum. It lies rather in the hearts and minds of a dedicated anddevoted faculty.” Seton Hall’s history has been one primarily ofpeople: students and faculty living and working together in acommunity of learning, a community rooted in a Catholic tra-dition that is a home for the mind, the heart and the spirit.

Priest Community at Seton HallFrom its earliest existence as a diocesan college, Seton Hall

has been staffed by the priests of the Archdiocese of Newark.At present, approximately 42 priests serve the University com-munity in a variety of ways. Some are in administration or onthe staff, others are professors on the University or Seminaryfaculties. Some work directly with students in a pastoral capaci-ty in Campus Ministry.

The presence of the priests of the Archdiocese of Newark, andthose from other dioceses or religious orders who also work oncampus, is a vital element in furthering the Catholic orientationand commitment of the University. In addition to their adminis-trative or academic duties, the priests minister to all members ofthe University community, not only through the scheduled litur-gical services in the University chapels, but also through theiravailability, personal concern and response to individual needs.

Association of Colleges and Schools. The academic qualifica-tions of the undergraduate programs have merited their accred-itation by appropriate professional memberships as well.

The University’s Technology Long-Range PlanSeton Hall University has made a major commitment to

information technology through its Information TechnologyLong-Range Plan. This plan was approved by the University’sBoard of Regents in 1995 and revised in 1997. Under thisplan, the University has invested more than $15 million toimprove its technology systems and services, including wiringof classrooms, residence halls and public spaces, and replacingthe University’s fiber-optic network and servers. TheUniversity’s technology plan focuses on the use of informationtechnology in support of teaching and learning. The Universityviews information technology as a transformative agent thatnot only enhances traditional modes of teaching and learning,but also enables new kinds of teaching and learning and newmethods of delivering the University’s educational services.

The University’s 2003 Strategic Plan builds on the momen-tum and success of the first technology plan. It encourages fur-ther innovation in the use of technology to enhance the learn-ing experience of the student and explore the possibilities forachieving an even greater sense of community. Within thisplan, technology is used to transcend the limits of the physicalclassroom. It keeps students connected with one another andtheir teachers beyond allotted class time, thereby enabling all tobe engaged in dynamic and shared learning activities on cam-pus. The University Strategic Plan also focuses on the use oftechnology to streamline and improve the administrative activi-ties of the University.

Designed to introduce students to the complexity of socialissues and community decision making, the institute providesstudents with opportunities to participate in both in-class andonsite projects, such as volunteerism, community developmentand nonprofit management. Service learning affords students theopportunities to explore the causes of community problems, clar-ify his or her values, consider social service as a career choice, andbecome a more informed citizen and decision maker.

To assist in the achievement of these goals, the Institutedevelops and implements seminars to introduce faculty to thetheory and practice of service learning, works with faculty ingraduate and undergraduate departments as they developcourses that involve service learning, facilitates collaborationamong professors and staff to enhance volunteerism in thecommunity, and works with community leaders in EssexCounty and beyond to establish service learning and nonprofitmanagement relations.
