Fr. Carlos Briceno, Ed.D.

Adjunct Professor of Spanish
School of Theology

Father Briceno is an Adjunct Professor of Pastoral Theology at Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology at Seton Hall University, teaching Spiritual Theology courses for the Center for Diaconal Formation. His theological background provides him with the tools needed to form future deacons in the human, intellectual, pastoral, and spiritual areas of formation.

Father Briceno is also an Adjunct Professor for the Core Curriculum Department at Seton Hall. He motivates students to develop their critical thinking skills through discussing the most important questions in life. His courses draw upon various philosophical and theological authors. Questions addressed in his courses include, among others: Is there a meaning to suffering? What do we know of the divine or transcendent? How do we understand the just, the right, the call to do good? What is love?

Aside from his philosophical and theological knowledge, Father Briceno is passionate about languages and cultures. His ability to manage English and Spanish has given him the creativity and eagerness to teach his native tongue, Spanish, as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at Seton Hall. Father Briceno loves to teach students not only to think critically but also to understand, speak, and learn how to communicate in Spanish.

Having earned his doctorate in Higher Education and Administration in 2021, Father Briceno has developed an understanding of the importance of teaching, methodology, curriculum, assessment learning, enrollment management, student life, federal and state policy, accountability, assessment, and financial models for community colleges, colleges, and universities today. He conducted his research on the relationship between student grades and student evaluations of professors and its impact on faculty practices.

Father Briceno also serves as a Board of Directors member for Holy Apostles College and Seminary in Cromwell, CT, and is the Administrator of St. Anthony Church in Northvale, NJ.
