SETON HALL UNIVERSITY and Hackensack University Health Network announced plans to form a new, four-year school of medicine. The partnership will establish the only private school of medicine in New Jersey.
The school is planned to be located on the campus of the former Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. biomedical facility, in Nutley and Clifton, N.J. The first class is expected to begin within the next three years.
Seton Hall plans to integrate their nursing and allied health programs with the new school of medicine. HackensackUHN’s hospitals will serve as the primary clinical teaching sites for SHU and SHU-affiliated graduate education programs.
The plan is subject to approval by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, and an agreement is expected to be finalized early this year.
