t Seton Hall University’s Stillman School of Business, there are so many experiential learning opportunities that every student finds themselves learning by doing at some point during their undergraduate experience. In a survey of alumni from the Class of 2016 by Poets&Quants, 100% of graduates said they were engaged in a “signature experience” that includes project work, simulations, global immersion, experiential learning, senior thesis, or capstone project. As a private Roman Catholic University in South Orange, New Jersey, the school also believes that leaders need to “learn to make a difference.” Students of the Seton Hall University perform over 25,000 hours of community service every year, and ethical considerations are integrated throughout every business class at Stillman.

The school saw 3,902 applications to their undergraduate program in Fall 2018, and admitted 2,247 students, giving the program an acceptance rate of 58.6% for direct applicants. The school estimates that the total four-year cost of tuition and fees, is $155,144, and that additional expenses on room, board, transportation and living expenses, books and supplies, are likely to add up to another $70,000.
