At Seton Hall University, our facilities are designed to support an expansive range of academic and extracurricular activities, ensuring every student has access to the resources they need for success. 

  • Seton Hall's Interprofessional Health Sciences Campus (IHS) campus presents a forward-thinking approach to healthcare education, bringing together future doctors, nurses and health professionals in the fields of medicine, nursing, physical therapy, physician assistant, occupational therapy, athletic training and speech language pathology. This innovative team-based training reflects the future of healthcare delivery; Seton Hall is one of only a few universities using this model. 
  • Seton Hall’s library services stand as a cornerstone of our commitment to supporting every student’s scholarly journey. Beyond book lending, they provide access to an extensive database of academic journals, both on-campus and online. Our librarians on all three campuses are specialists in their fields. Our digital repository of research is added to by students and faculty on a yearly basis; in turn, this information is often referenced, cited and viewed from locations around the world.
  • The state-of-the-art Science and Technology Center includes classrooms, labs, a rooftop greenhouse and observatory. Students gain hands-on experience working side-by-side with well-known science professors conducting research. It is also the home of the Center for Applied Catalysis and Green Chemistry, which provides a collaborative environment for research on greener chemical procedures and laboratory experiments. 
  • Many of the University's finance and accounting classes are conducted in the Center for Securities Trading and Business Analytics, an innovative financial trading room which replicates a Wall Street experience. It features dedicated terminal locations and additional tables for both small group work and instruction, along with state-of-the-art video monitors that enhance the teaching and learning experience. 
  • The Richie Regan Recreation and Athletics Center is over 12,000 square feet in total size, spanning two floors and offering a myriad of state-of-the-art exercise options. The facility boasts cardio stations, dance studios, free and circuit weight training options as well as men's and women's locker rooms with direct access to the natatorium.


These facilities underscore our commitment to providing a holistic educational experience, preparing students for global success.
