Seth Csaszar, Exercise Science

Seth Csaszar will graduate this May with a degree in Exercise Science, but his road to this destination may look a little different than others.

Csaszar of Northampton, Pennsylvania, actually attended two colleges prior to coming to Stockton. “I struggled to find my purpose in life. With the help of mentors and life experiences, I was able to discover my interests, which pushed me to accomplish my goal of earning a college degree and pursuing my dream job as a physical therapist.”

Also, for the past nine years, Csaszar served in the military in multiple capacities, and is currently a U.S. Army Staff Sergeant. He credits that experience as being one of the biggest influences on his life. “It helped me to develop the discipline, work ethic and skills needed to excel in school.”

After finally landing at Stockton, Csaszar began to find his purpose and path.

I will also miss the connections I felt that I made with my professors and the clear leadership and efforts they made to provide students with an exceptional education.

When asked what unique opportunities he had while being an Osprey, Csaszar said, “A service-learning project and a 350-hour Exercise Science internship. For the Service-Learning project, my classmates and I taught, coached and mentored children through health and wellness principals at the Atlantic City Boys & Girls Club. During my internship, I had an invaluable experience working as PT aide at 3Dimensional Physical Therapy in Medford. This opportunity greatly prepared me for my future in pursuing a career as a PT.”

Csaszar always enjoyed working out, sports and helping others, so physical therapy seemed the perfect professional blend of his passions and interests.

What will Csaszar miss most about Stockton? “The salad bar at the dining facility,” he joked. His honest response was, “the location that makes it easy for students to get their work done, study or simply connect with others. I will also miss the connections I felt that I made with my professors and the clear leadership and efforts they made to provide students with an exceptional education.”

After graduating, Csaszar heads to Drexel’s Physical Therapy program this fall.

“I will use my Stockton degree as a foundation of knowledge to build upon throughout my life.”
