Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Most of the teachers at Seton Hall aren’t like the teachers you would find at many other colleges—they don’t just teach for a living, they live to teach. If you want a passing grade, expect to attend classes and make yourself noticed, as the small class sizes don’t allow for frequent absences. Even the lackluster teachers will notice when you’ve only attended on the test days. As you finish off your beginner 101 courses, you will see that some of the teachers in the more advanced classes are very knowledgeable. But since Seton Hall is a liberal arts school, you will be stuck taking core classes for the first half of your time at college. Most of these involve the scrap teachers or ill-placed adjuncts, so at times the first few semesters can be nothing short of frustrating.

There are a few rigorous classes that are challenging, and classes that you can sleep through, but it all depends on your major and ability to daydream. The difference between Seton Hall and other universities is that the professors at Seton Hall usually know you by your first name, so sleeping during class becomes a personal offense. Probably the biggest issue facing Seton Hall academics is general education requirements. In order to graduate, students must fulfill these requirements, which, coupled with a student’s major requirements can be very difficult to complete in four years. Students who are taking courses simply to fulfill general elective requirements compete for spots with students who are taking the courses for their majors or out of genuine interest. Aside from the elective requirements, students have few complaints about classes and professors at Seton Hall. The system may have its flaws, but the professors and courses offered are above average, to say the least. A Seton Hall diploma will get you noticed anywhere, especially in the tri-state area.

Sport Mangement and Marketing

As a duel Sport Management and Marketing major, I'm getting the best of both worlds. I'm understanding tools and ideas on how to make it in the world of Sports, as well as learning Marketing ideas from valued professors to use when I enter the Sports industry. Since I have been a freshman, I have been involved with the Sports Management Student Association, which helps all Sport Management majors get a glimpse on how to make it in the Sports Industry by volunteering a sporting events, or having speakers come in and speak to us about their experiences in the Sports industry. By studying Sports Management and Marketing, I have had multiple internships, like 1050 ESPN Radio, New York Titans (Pro Lacrosse Team), and even stepping out of my comfort zone and interning with New York Life Insurance to get another prospective on what I want to do with my life. I'm enjoying my learning experience so far at Seton Hall University!

Professors

All of the professors I have had have been highly intelligent instructors who care about what they are teaching. Because of the class sizes being about high school size, the student and professor relationship is very intimate. Professors often encourage you to come visit them with any questions; therefore, it is hard to do badly in classes when there is help given. Also, be prepared to answer questions and participate in class. That is what college classes are all about
