Seton Hall University
Seton Hall University’s College of Nursing is distinguished by its "servant leadership" philosophy, preparing nurses to be both highly skilled clinicians and ethical advocates. The university offers a traditional four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and a fast-paced 14-month Second Degree Accelerated BSN (ABSN) for career changers. At the graduate level, Seton Hall is a regional powerhouse, offering a wide array of online MSN tracks—including Adult-Gerontology (Acute and Primary), Family, Pediatric, and Psychiatric-Mental Health—as well as a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and one of the state's few Ph.D. in Nursing programs. The BSN curriculum totals approximately 124 credits, integrating intensive science prerequisites with professional courses in health promotion, pharmacology, and global health.
The program is centered at the Interprofessional Health Sciences Campus, a facility shared with the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine and the School of Health and Medical Sciences. This co-location allows for unique interdisciplinary simulations where nursing students work alongside medical and physician assistant students in a high-fidelity environment. The simulation center features realistic hospital suites and standardized patient exam rooms where students practice complex skills like intubation and emergency stabilization. Clinical rotations are held at premier New Jersey institutions, including Hackensack University Medical Center and Saint Barnabas Medical Center. These rigorous standards have yielded historic results, with recent NCLEX-RN pass rates reaching 97.4%, significantly outpacing national averages.
Compared to other programs in the New York-New Jersey metro area, Seton Hall stands out for its Army ROTC Nursing partnership and its deep integration of Catholic values into modern clinical practice. The university's "Career Center for Nursing" also provides specialized support, contributing to high employment rates within major healthcare systems across the Northeast.
