Professional Psychology & Family Therapy
The Department of
Professional Psychology and Family Therapy has a long history dating back to
the early 1960’s
of training professionals in a wide variety of educational and counseling
specialties. Originally called the Department of Counseling and Special
Services, it became the Department of Counseling Psychology in the mid 1980’s when the College was restructured. Programs in
educational specialties such as teaching the handicapped, reading
specialist, and speech therapy moved into the Department of Educational
Studies while the counseling and psychologically based programs remained in
this department. In 1993, the Department of Counseling
Psychology changed its name to Professional Psychology and Family Therapy, a
name more accurately reflecting the programs offered by the department.

Center for Global Education
As the effects of
globalization bring many changes and challenges to the U.S. and the world,
American educators are forced to develop a new framework. Past models
of citizenship have focused primarily on the knowledge and acquisition of
values necessary for participation in the American system. However, as
national boundaries become more porous through immigration, technology,
business and cultural exchanges, more and more individuals find themselves
needing new knowledge and skills to succeed in this changing environment. In
order to move forward in the global environment, specific skills of
intercultural communications are needed along with cross-cultural knowledge
and a desire to collaborate with international partners. Just as democratic
citizens are not born, neither are global citizens. The Center for Global
Education at Seton Hall University serves as a vehicle to promote such
learning and practices among a wide audience.
