Seton Hall’s new university core is a multi-faceted approach to general education that encourages students to become thinking, caring, communicative and ethically responsible leaders with a commitment to service. First, the Signature Courses provide a common and distinctive experience for students, each shaped to be unique to Seton Hall. Second, acknowledging the importance of the questions raised in the Signature Courses, all students take an additional course in their junior year (in or outside their major) that is specifically tailored to be a follow-up to the themes developed in the first two courses. Third, recognizing that students will live in an increasingly complex environment requiring constant employment of skills to understand, interpret and manage the flow of information, the new core includes the systematic development of proficiencies to allow students to meet these challenges.
