Museums have become complex, multi-purpose organizations in the modern world. This program has been designed to meet the needs for professionally trained employees. Our student body is diverse in age, race and background; the students come from many states and countries. The relationship between professor and students is close. Hands-on experience and research play a serious role in these courses. The courses are offered in the evenings and sometimes on alternate Saturdays to accommodate those with full-time jobs. Job placement has been successful and impressive.
Set in a pleasant suburban village, Seton Hall is a 30-minute train ride away from New York City, with its wealth of museums and other cultural institutions. The 58-acre campus includes a new state-of-the-art library as well as a first-class fitness center. Although there is no on-campus graduate housing, most students find housing within walking distance from the university.
