Seton Hall University's Walsh Library has been designated a United Nations depository, becoming part of an international network of 362 libraries in 141 countries and territories that bring United Nations documents and publications to users around the world. The Walsh Library and the Rittenberg Law Library of St. John's University in New York are the only two American libraries to join the United Nations depository library system since 1977. This degree program provides students with an understanding of international relations and the skills necessary to apply that knowledge. The Master of Arts in Diplomacy program provides a competency-based course of study combining an interdisciplinary international studies curriculum taught from a global perspective with an international management and leadership curriculum. Students in the school undertake an extended internship program in order to gain an understanding of the world in which they eventually will be employed, and enroll in specialized courses leading to a concentration in one of a number of skills development or regional specializations.
Many students opt to rent apartments in the surrounding community.
Graduate assistants are assigned 20 hours of work per week in support of faculty research and administrative work.
