Halonen began her academic career in 1981 at Alverno College where she taught for 17 years.[8] During this time, she became known for her work on developing students' critical thinking skills.[9][8] Halonen moved to James Madison University in 1998 where she stayed for 5 years before moving to the University of West Florida.[10]

She participated in the APA Summits on National Assessment in Psychology,[13] and chaired the committee that produced the APA Guidelines for the Undergraduate Psychology Major (Version 2.0) in 2013.[14]
Halonen's academic interests focus on student learning and critical thinking skills, assessing undergraduate programs to help them improve, and helping the public understand the discipline of psychology.[15] She has led national efforts to assess student learning outcomes in introductory psychology[16] and has worked with others to define steps that psychology programs can take to develop a culture of learning outcomes assessment that improves teaching and learning.[17]
