Aspiring Leader tells recruits about his experience in Ed Leadership program at Seton Hall University

The Education Leadership, Management and Policy (ELMP) program enrolls approximately 150 students into leadership courses each semester.   The students are distributed into cohorts, which are run in diverse ways.  Choice include: online and in-seat, fully online team and only in-seat.  The benefit of the programs is to provide full service to students who are working adults.  The ELMP program gives the busy professional who aspires to leadership responsibilities the ability to study in a convenient, cost effective, and highly respected nationally recognized program.  Our reputation as a highly rigorous program is only a partial testament given by most of our graduates.

Most of the students in the program recommend to their colleagues that they give Seton Hall University (SHU) a look.   Word of mouth has been the best and most successful recruiting tool.  On occasion one of our current students will volunteer to share his/her experience with other potential students at an event.  Recently one of our students, Paul Decker of the Camden County College Cohort 2  joined us at an info-session to share his experience with some students from his school (  ) and surrounding districts.  A testimonial from Paul is below.

On December 19, 2013, at Cumberland County Community College, Drs. James Corino and Al Galloway met with students in the University Center.  We have a video of Paul answering questions.   See the video here!

“I am currently heading into my 5th semester of Seton Hall’s Master of Arts program in Education Leadership. The program has been an extremely rewarding experience. When I decided to go back to further my education, I had accepted a new position in a new school. Adjusting to a new school and new faculty on top of pursuing a master’s degree was challenging, however the design of the program and having one course a semester being in seat, this was a perfect program for me.  Not only has this program benefited me for my future as an administrator, it has helped me as a teacher to constantly improve my instruction.”
