Seton Hall University is a Catholic university in South Orange, New Jersey (United States), founded in 1856 and named after Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. Its 58-acre main campus is 14 miles from Manhattan, about 30 minutes by train. The School of Law is in nearby Newark, and the Interprofessional Health Sciences (IHS) campus in Clifton and Nutley, opened in 2018, houses the College of Nursing, the School of Health and Medical Sciences and the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine.

The university has more than 10,000 undergraduate and graduate students and offers over 90 majors and programmes, with an average class size of 21 and a student-to-faculty ratio of 14:1. Its schools include the College of Arts and Sciences, the Stillman School of Business, the School of Diplomacy and International Relations and the Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology. Internships, research and clinical placements start from the first year.

International undergraduates can receive the same merit scholarships as US students. Applicants who are academically qualified but need more English can be accepted provisionally into the English as a Second Language (ESL) Program. The Office of International Programs issues the I-20 for the student visa.
