Overview

We encourage a global approach to the study of history. The courses offered by Seton Hall University encompass history from all over the world, so students develop a rich understanding of our own culture and others’ over time. They put that knowledge into practice through lively class discussions, research and writing projects. 

Thanks to small class sizes, faculty members get to know each student and help identify their abilities and special interests. You can concentrate on the areas or time periods that interest you most with focused courses such as Colonial America, Greek Civilization, The Early Middle Ages, and the History of Traditional Japan.
