STUDENTS
The program in economics at Seton Hall is very flexible in that it allows you to earn a degree through the W. Paul Stillman School of Business or the College of Arts and Sciences. The very nature of this arrangement allows economics majors exposure to and interaction with students from a variety of disciplines.
