About the College and University
Launched in Summer 2023, Seton Hall’s College of Human Development,
Culture, and Media (CHDCM) embodies the University’s commitment to
pedagogical innovation, intellectual ferment, and community
engagement. Uniting scholars and students from four dynamic
departments—Communication, Media, and the Arts; Education
Leadership, Management, and Policy; Educational Studies; and
Professional Psychology and Family Therapy—the College is the new
home of cutting-edge, transdisciplinary inquiry into the stickiest
problems of our time.
The faculty, staff, and students of the College seek to improve the
human condition by collaborating across distinct fields that
uniquely complement one another, thereby preparing the next
generation of dynamic leaders poised to tackle contemporary social
challenges and opportunities. Expression underpins all facets of
the integrated College’s portfolio — media as a form of education
and artistic expression; teaching and learning as modes of creative
expression; expression and expressibility as critical to counseling
and therapeutic treatment; and self-expression as a vehicle of
social agency. With enrollment at approximately 1,550 total
students, both graduate and undergraduate, CHDCM is the second
largest college at Seton Hall University, with approximately 70
full time faculty and 125 adjunct faculty.
Seton Hall is located in South Orange, New Jersey, just 14 miles
from New York City. The University is the oldest Catholic diocesan
institution of higher education in the United States, and the
Carnegie Foundation classifies it as a doctoral university. It is
home to approximately 6,300 undergraduate and 4,700 graduate
students from every state in the United States and from more than
70 countries around the world. Nearly 40 percent of our
undergraduates identify themselves as students of color, and this
figure is increasing with each new graduating class. The University
also prides itself on supporting first generation students, and 98%
of our students receive scholarships and grants to fund their
education. Given this exciting and rich, diverse community, Seton
Hall pursues academic excellence and ethical development in a
collaborative environment, and prepares its students to be servant
leaders in their professional and community lives, capable of
engaging effectively with diverse populations.
In keeping with Seton Hall’s emphasis upon those historically
excluded from higher education, the College of Human Development,
Culture, and Media embraces the value and power of diversity—and
the critical importance of creating inclusive, welcoming forms of
community. Reflecting the University’s mission, the College is
committed to advancing social justice, championing equity and
inclusivity, and working toward an anti-racist future, free of
violence and oppression of all kinds. We are especially called by
our mission to serve underserved communities in and around the
Archdiocese of Newark, though we also recognize the need to attend
to the intersection of the local, national, and global in questions
of power and access. We therefore commit to addressing systemic
inequality and injustice of all kinds, and we look forward to
welcoming new colleagues similarly aligned to this mission.
