From the President This catalogue is a sampling of the exceptional array of knowledge available at Seton Hall University through its academic offerings. As you make your course selections, it is also important to remember that time in classrooms, laboratories and libraries is part of the bigger picture that prompted you to come to this preeminent Catholic institution of higher education. Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, for whom our University is named, began our country’s parochial school system in the belief that faith should be lived in responsible citizenship capable of bringing to society wisdom, knowledge and integrity. Her nephew, Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley, built on that philosophy in founding Seton Hall as “a home for the heart, the mind and the spirit.” Today, we use the term “servant leader” to summarize the University’s mission to form women and men of ethical leadership and competence in all fields of enterprise, and who are also dedicated to serve others. For our institution, that is the core of academic excellence. In recent years, we have seen an increase in the number and quality of students who attend Seton Hall. We have inaugurated new programs across the disciplines and we continue to build new facilities. Yet, the fundamental values remain the same. This is the Catholic mission, to form the whole person in a nurturing community that offers our students personal attention and care. Please keep this in mind as you peruse this catalogue and prepare for the academic year ahead. In selecting your courses, know that you will share your journey with thousands, indeed tens of thousands who have gone before you. Like them, you are in pursuit of that truth, which alone sets us free. A. Gabriel Esteban, Ph.D. President Seton Hall University From the Provost and Executive Vice President Your experience at Seton Hall University will represent a period of incomparable intellectual, emotional and spiritual growth – it will be a period unlike no other you have experienced during any other part of your entire life. To fully exploit this opportunity, you must be open – to classmates whose backgrounds are wholly different from yours, to teachers who challenge you more than you are accustomed, to ideas that may be contrary to your prior world view, and to the presence of God in your daily life. How you experience Seton Hall is completely within your control. Seek to become a well-rounded and educated person. If you are a pre-med student, attend to the humanities, which will provide you with an insight into the human condition, thereby enabling you to become a physician of the person as well as the body. If you are a science major, aspire to excellence not only in your discipline, but in those skills essential to general competence in life, such as writing. Every one of you should seek that knowledge that makes you an informed citizen, able to participate intelligently in the political process. Finally, all students should strive to integrate faith and reason, to enable you to live the good life. Our Catholic Studies courses provide a particular opportunity for you to understand the connections between your faith and other disciplines. Your college years create the foundation upon which you will build your adult life. Make wise and mature choices. Appreciate the multitude of gifts that comprise your college experience. Dr. Larry A.

    National Museum National FINAL REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES TO ILLUMINATE THE AMERICAN American Latino STORY FOR ALL FINAL REPORT 2011 THE YEAR TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN TO IlluMINATE THE AMERIcan STORY FOR ALL TO IlluMINATE THE AMERIcan STORY FOR ALL MAY 2011 We the People of the United States, simple words from our Constitution that for over two hundred years have symbolized the bond between the federal government and all of our citizens. It is this ideal that has inspired the conversation between the American people and we the members of the National Museum of the American Latino Commission, who were tasked to answer the question of whether there should be a National Museum that reflects the contributions of Latinos to every aspect of American History and Culture. The answer is abundantly clear. Yes. The time has come for the creation of a new museum on the National Mall, the place where our nation’s most important monuments are located, where we conduct the business of our Congress, pay tribute to our veterans, gather to inaugurate our Presidents and where we give full voice to our freedom of speech. The Mall, more than any other public space in our country does indeed tell the story of America, and yet that story is not complete. There must also be a living monument that recognizes that Latinos were here well before 1776 and that in this new century, the future is increasingly Latino, more than fifty million people and growing. We believe strongly that this new museum should be a part of the Smithsonian Institution, to be known as The Smithsonian American Latino Museum.
