International Affairs Major (Online Executive M.S.)
Seton Hall's Online Executive Master of Science in International Affairs program is designed for professionals who seek to develop additional skills or credentials to move ahead in their careers, but cannot attend a traditional Executive Master of Science campus program in order to do so.

The Online Executive M.S. curriculum can be completed in a single year full-time, including summer sessions, or through part-time study, and is customizable to meet each individual’s current interests and needs.
