Early life and education
David Long was born in Paterson, New Jersey and raised in Elmwood Park, New Jersey before moving with his family to Paterson at the age of 9. He attended Saint Anne School in Fair Lawn, New Jersey and Bergen Catholic High School in Oradell, New Jersey. After his high school graduation, Long enrolled at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, where he was a double-major in History and American Government. He graduated from Georgetown in May 1997.
Graduate studies
After a year of post-undergraduate studies in philosophy, Long enrolled as a graduate student at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (1998–2003), where he obtained his master's degree in religious studies (2001), master's degree in theology (2002), licentiate of sacred theology (2002), and licentiate of canon law (2003). During his time at KU Leuven, Long was on the editorial staff of Louvain Studies and the European Journal for Church and State Research.
Long began advanced studies at The Catholic University of America School of Theology and Religious Studies in the fall of 2012, eventually earning a master of philosophy degree in 2015. He later studied at The Catholic University of America School of Canon Law, where he earned his doctorate in canon law, defending his dissertation entitled John Henry Newman, Doctrinal Development, and the Canonical Status of the Theologian in the Church in April 2022.
Professional career
Prior to his studies at The Catholic University of America, Long taught at the high school level at two institutions in northern New Jersey: Saint Dominic Academy in Jersey City and Immaculate Heart Academy in the Township of Washington, and was an assistant professor in religious studies at Felician University.
While pursuing his studies in theology and canon law, Long worked in the university's graduate studies office from 2012 through 2019, rising to the position of associate dean of graduate studies before becoming assistant provost in June 2019. He was later promoted to vice provost for academic operations and strategic planning in 2022. In that capacity, he served as chief of academic operations for the university and assisted the provost and school deans in developing and executing capital plans for the academic area.
In March 2024, Catholic University of America president Peter Kilpatrick announced that Long would succeed Dr. Vincent Kiernan as the dean of the Metropolitan School of Professional Studies on June 1, 2024. Kiernan had been dean since June 2016.
