Seton Hall’s leaders in professional, continuing and online education can now turn to UPCEA’s research and consulting for their actionable benchmarking and consulting needs. This provides industry-wide research for UPCEA members, and offers contract market research, benchmarking studies, and custom data exploration at member rates far below industry average.

The online iTHIRST Spiritual Companionship Certification Training seeks to provide a spiritual remedy to those suffering from addiction through the development and implementation of programs designed to educate and prevent, to provide support to treatment facilities and those incarcerated, and to develop an aftercare community for the afflicted and their families.
Created by the College of Nursing, the Youth Mental Health First Aid course teaches how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders in youth. This 6-hour training gives adults who work with youth the skills they need to reach out and provide initial support to children and adolescents (ages 6-18) who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem and help connect them to the appropriate care.
The Introduction to Critical Care Ultrasonography is a new course designed by College of Nursing faculty that introduces the learner to use ultrasonographical examination to detect cardiac, pulmonary, vascular, and abdominal abnormalities. The course includes a didactic presentation of the theory of ultrasonography and hands-on experience in performing ultrasonographical examination techniques on standardized patients.
