<p>I know its been awhile since anyone posted on this, but I thought I’d see if I got any responses! I was just accepted to the Whitehead School, and I originally planned on having Seton Hall be my safety, and attending Northeastern or American if I was accepted. I’m reconsidering this, however, because the more research I do into the Whitehead School, the more it seems like I should go there. It has a very professional, and skill based program which I love. Not just taking a bunch of history, language and political science classes and meshing them together. Whitehead really has a great, focused program on diplomacy! What i’m concerned about however, is that Whitehead isn’t prestigious or well-known enough for me to get the job I want when I graduate. Can someone tell me how graduates do in the job market? And what makes it better than the program at Northeastern or American? Au is well known for the SIS and NU for their co-ops. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance! I really hope this thread hasn’t been abandoned, I could use some help here lol.</p>
<p>Congratulations on your admission to the school. You have some good choices ahead of you and I wish you well.</p>
<p>My daughter(see below) graduated from Whitehead in May of 2011 and was employed by August of that year. Most of her fellow grads are employed, some on Capitol Hill, some in the State department and some in NGOs. Others are pursuing graduate work in fields such as law and national security.</p>
<p>The issue of prestige is highly subjective. The Whitehead School is relatively new compared with American and Northeastern. But it is growing in renown every year. Its greatest advantage is its proximity to NYC and the United Nations, with a large number of internships available. The classes are small, and many are taught by former ambassadors and other diplomatic personnel. The school has also established a Washington-DC based program which combines course work with internships over a full semester.</p>
<p>The scholarship assistance is good and with a growing list of graduates in the profession, there are opportunities to network with alumni in a variety of related fields.</p>
<p>The final decision is obviously yours. But be assured that the Whitehead School is a viable alternative to the schools you mentioned. My daughter enjoyed her time at the school, spent a month in Paris one summer and finished with a minor in French while graduating with honors. Best wishes to you in your quest.</p>
<p>Hi, njstudent88! My name is Sarah Blackburn and I’m an Assistant Director of Admission at SHU. Students in the Whitehead School are often employed by graduation or shortly thereafter and I think that’s a direct result of the fact that the program requires at least one internship. The Whitehead School has their own full-time office, separate from Career Services to aid students in finding appropriate internships for their chosen career paths. They also sponsor a ton of workshops, professional development opportunities, and even have a special database to search for jobs. Diplomacy students also have a 90% rate of getting into graduate school.</p>
<p>Keeping all of that in mind, I always like to let students know that regardless of what the outcomes percentages say about a particular school or program (Seton Hall’s average is about 13% higher than the national average, which is currently about 65%), the biggest indicator of whether or not you’re going to get a job upon graduation is YOU. Do as many internships as you can in the time that you’re in school, regardless of where you go. The more experience you have, the more likely you are to be hired!</p>
<p>I hope all of this helps. If you’re still torn, I definitely recommend coming and spending a night on campus. All admitted students are welcome to do this through our Blue and White for a Night program. Sign up here: [Blue</a> and White for a Night, Office of Undergraduate Admissions - Seton Hall University, New Jersey](<a href=“http://www7.shu.edu/admissions/blue-white-night.cfm]Blue”>http://www7.shu.edu/admissions/blue-white-night.cfm)</p>
<p>Best of luck with your decision! Feel free to reach out to us if you need anything.</p>
<p>What languages are offered at Seton Hall. My son has been accepted in to the Whitehead School of Diplomacy. Also what study abroad opportunities are there?</p>
<p>Languages: Chinese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Russian and Spanish. All of these language programs have study abroad opportunities, with the exception of German.</p>
<p>Don’t know that much about the Maxwell School…however, you should note the close proximity to New York City and the United Nations enjoyed by the Whitehead School and the distance from these of Maxwell. Beyond that I can’t comment.</p>
<p>Hey I know your really knowledgeable in Seton Hall University, International Relations. I wanted to know if you know anything about the Broadcasting, Visual and Interactive Media.

You were saying the security is good which I like to hear. I know I will be in good hands. Also do you think I will be accepted to Seton Hall University with these stats:<br>

<p>Miscellaneous Note: If there is anyone who is applying to Law at Seton Hall you will be glad to know they will cut their tuition in half. Only for Law Students.

<p>Based on cost…which one is better American or Seton Hall? Also, I’ve hear so much about the area and I want to know how much validity I should put in it? Is it really that bad? I am planning on applying this fall for Seton Hall Law or the Whitehead School. I would love to go Seton Hall but my parents cannot afford to pay for any of my tuition; how much financial aid and scholarships from the college would I receive?</p>
