Question
Seton Hill is an excellent school.Not so brightEducation
Seton Hill is an excellent school. However, if you are interested in getting teaching certification DO NOT COME HERE. The reason I say this is because SHU is a liberal arts school, and you must take a ridiculous amount of 'liberal arts' courses. Those liberal arts courses along with the education courses PLUS the courses you have to take in your area of certification are a lot to handle.

You will not graduate in four years. Then, there are people at state colleges who do half the work you do and they end up with teaching jobs. I am strongly thinking about going to a state school. I love the professors and the seriousness of Seton Hill, but all of that work to teach? I think not. If you want to be a teacher and you want to finish in 4 years....think twice about coming here and look into the program.

Question
I went to SHU and graduated with aPolitical Science
I went to SHU and graduated with a degree in Poli Sci. I can't complain about this school at all--my department and advisor were great to me--Dr. Michael Cary is the best professor/mentor ever! If you are serious contender for graduate school, preparation as an undergrad at SHU is worth every penny. Yeah, its pricey but the attention you get here is priceless. Your professors care and know you. You will also learn a lot and the students are also very well-read and smart. Yeah, you may run into a few dummies here and there, but you'll find that at most schools. At Seton Hill, the majority of the students have huge egos and want to succeed--and believe me, you want to be around those types--it breeds success! Most of my fellow classmates have gone onto do great things. Yes, the campus is boring--but you can make your own fun up on that hill--my friends and I always did. Final point, if you are serious about your chances at grad school go to SHU--hands down.
