Fielding Graduate University

History

Fielding Graduate University was founded by three friends: Frederic Hudson, Hallock Hoffman, and Renata Tesch–all distinguished higher–education administrators and educators.

The founders envisioned a nationally recognized graduate school based on two notions:

  • Changing demographics were altering the world of higher education.
  • Adults learn differently than adolescents and young adults.

Education

Taught by faculty representing a breadth of scholarship and practice, our rigorous curriculum offers courses and degrees in psychology, leadership, and education for professionals living and working anywhere in the world.

Research

For generations, Fielding has been graduating scholar-practitioners who know that research is not an end in itself, but that it serves a broader purpose.

Tested, applied, and used for broader application, Fielding research tackles the tough societal problems all around us. We ask big, broad and complex questions—because it is bold scholarship that makes a positive social difference.

Career

Our faculty excel in helping students to align their research with their professional experience and their career goals. We believe that you bring valuable wisdom and experience to your learning process, and our faculty utilize their theoretical knowledge and strong scholar-practitioner backgrounds to help you identify that unique intersection between your professional expertise and academic interests.

Student services

Fielding’s Student Services staff is comprised of a diverse group of people dedicated to providing services that complement the university’s academic mission while helping to further your individual growth and development.  Our distributed learning model means that there are many staff members working to support your progress at Fielding that you may never meet in person.

Library services

Teaching students to become skilled in finding and reviewing scholarly information is central to our library’s mission. We provide access to an outstanding collection with breadth and depth unusual at a university of our size.
