Why Choose Fielding Graduate University?

Our mission is to meet your educational and professional needs as an adult learner and a mid-career professional. To this end, we have developed an educational model that builds on your existing learning and professional experience, that features collaborative, competency-based learning and assessment, and provides flexible scheduling to accommodate the many demands placed upon your time as a working professional. We offer:

Quality

Fielding Graduate University has an international reputation for the highest quality accredited graduate degree and certificate programs. Fielding Graduate University is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). It is also renowned for its innovative contributions to academic research, lifelong learning and social justice.

Flexibility

Because we recognize adults must accommodate work, family and community responsibilities beyond their studies, our programs feature flexible schedules and study options within a challenging learning model.

Community

Fielding maintains a geographically dispersed, yet closely-knit community of scholar-practitioners who value learning, creativity, relationships and respect for individual differences. We are highly skilled at creating communities of varying types—dispersed, regional and online.

Distributed Learning at Fielding

Distributed Learning is an approach that does not require a specific, physical location in order to facilitate learning. Some of the characteristics of a distributed environment include:

• The incorporation of technology, in-person, distance-oriented and other interactive tools to support various learning styles.
• An integration of day-to-day life (work and non-work related) into the learning activities.
• An emphasis on collaborative learning by peer and community interaction.

As a student at Fielding Graduate University, our programs allow for you to continue your career and, more importantly, your life.
