About The Position

Holy Family University is a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth founded in 1954. The University is a private institution in the Catholic tradition with campus locations in Philadelphia and Newtown PA. The main campus is nestled in the heart of a historic residential neighborhood in Northeast Philadelphia that is vibrant and just minutes from the excitement of Center City. The Newtown campus is located in Bucks County surrounded by nature and a step away from parks, farmers' markets and great dining. One of the best parts of Holy Family University is our welcoming atmosphere--and that's not by chance. Our mission centers on creating an environment that encourages all members to get to know one another, learn from one another, and experience a range of perspectives and worldviews.

All employees must understand the mission of Catholic higher education and be committed to the core values, mission, goals, and objectives of Holy Family University.

Although the area of specialization is open, the department seeks a candidate who will be able to teach classes in the Master's in Counseling Psychology program which delivers courses in-person in the evenings, online synchronous, and in fully online asynchronous.
