College of Human Development, Culture, and Media at Seton Hall University

Launching in the Summer of 2023, Seton Hall's emerging College of Human Development, Culture, and Media (CHDCM) will be the singular place for purpose-built interdisciplinary learning focused on innovation along the continuum of human development.

Integrating the exceptional faculty of Communication and the Arts and Education and Human Services and dynamic cross-disciplinary curricula, the new College will seek to improve the human condition by collaborating across distinct fields that uniquely complement one another and prepare students as active leaders poised to address complex issues. The expression will underpin 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, and self-expression as a vehicle of social agency.

Many of our society's biggest challenges relate to the intersection of education and communication. These challenges can't be solved in silos. They require innovative approaches that capitalize on the synergies of art, design, communication, instruction, and media in various systems ranging from law enforcement to educators to counseling to leadership that respond to important societal questions fueled by human experiences and inequities.
