The HLC also believes WU has overreached in stating its financial objectives and goals for the coming years.
The first-quarter numbers the university provided indicated a We provide exemplary interdisciplinary programs within a distributed and relational learning model grounded in student-driven inquiry and leading to enhanced knowledge.
This community of scholar-practitioners addresses personal, organizational, societal, ecological, and global concerns to pursue a more just and sustainable world.
Fielding's administrative offices are located in two lot-adjacent office buildings in beautiful Santa Barbara, California. Many of Fielding's programs hold face-to-face events throughout the year in different regional locations to enrich your educational experience. Fielding Graduate University was founded by three friends: Frederic Hudson, Hallock Hoffman, and Renata Tesch—all distinguished higher—education administrators and educators.
Here at Fielding Graduate University, we are different from other graduate schools. Taking a multidisciplinary, principles-centered, values-based, and inclusive approach to leadership and practice, we prize process along with significant outcomes. Whether our graduates become psychologists, educators, organizational development consultants, coaches, or practitioners, they acknowledge the evolutionary nature and interconnectedness of solving today's problems.
Leadership competencies, such as skillful in emotional and social intelligence, decision-making judgment, and conflict management, are combined with area expertise to create uniquely qualified graduates and leaders in whatever sphere they may find themselves over their life's journey. We offer both in-person and online student and technology services that allow students to delve into their research and knowledge interests fully.
Every environment is designed with your success in mind. For generations, Fielding has been graduating scholar-practitioners who know that research is not an end in itself, but it serves a broader purpose.
Tested, applied, and used for broader application, Fielding research tackles the severe societal problems all around us. We ask big, broad, and tricky questions—because it is a bold scholarship that makes a positive social difference.
New knowledge for practical application is the Fielding difference. This office seeks to foster new efforts to enhance Fielding's reputation and quality of its academic offerings through special initiatives.
Many of these efforts are expanded by creating institutional partnerships and organizational connections that assure Fielding's presence in national discussions on higher education policy and priorities and in programs that advance graduate education.
I'm sorry I was not impressed by the feedback and direction offered from the professor and quite frankly this was only the start of the program. I have been at Fielding for almost 3 years. The faculty are some of the most-accomplished and diverse thinkers around; they deeply care about their students at all levels.
Be prepared to explore the boundaries of your field and beyond. Be prepared to be challenged by some of the best minds in the field - including your fellow students! Be prepared to focus on understanding more than learning and 'simple' courses.
But most of all, be prepared to be dedicated to your self, your learning, and your future; Fielding will not do those for you. Fielding has its own challenges and its own humanity. I have learned which faculty can help me in my own style of learning and which are less aligned.
I have mostly learned which policies can be directly challenged and changed and which are not. But I am not there for Fielding; I am there for me, and I deeply appreciate the ways in which Fielding is helping me for me. Fielding is not like other schools; if you're looking for a 'me too' school that provides a piece of paper, Fielding isn't it. If you're looking for a lifelong experience that supports you well before and after graduation, Fielding has no equal.
I don't know what the disgruntled people that did these reviews are doing! If you got dismissed, guess you couldn't hack it. It is hard, it is NOT for everyone. You have to be motivated and you have to have the get-up-and-go to seek out help before you get to that point. I do understand the issue some reviewers had with getting practicum and internship - it is very difficult to get a practicum if you live near a major brick and mortar university. When I finally found a possible practicum at a prestigious neurology center, one of the newly hired psychologists turned out to be from Fielding so you CAN get hired at competitive places.
The staff did try to help me find a practicum, but honestly this is the hardest part of it for me. In addition, If I want feedback on my papers, I email and I get it. This is because I am seen as a serious student, I participate, I do not bristle at criticism, and I can write in clear English. The faculty are usually renowned, at least the ones I have taken courses with in forensic neuropsychology.
They publish, they speak at conferences, and they occasionally can be eccentric but still approachable. I guess I just have a thick skin, but what are you really doing trying to be a psychologist if you don't have one? I attended Fielding for 1 year, and completed 12 units.
They charge by the month, but it appeared my credit card was being "churned" with charges, credits, and recharges. The year was After repeated attempts to get the office charging my credit card to address the multiple overcharges, I resigned. So…all I can say if you are giving them a credit card to charge, watch your statement monthly and correct any errors immediately.
Total waste of money. Just a bunch of teachers collecting money - and no one running the program. No academic advisors, totally insulated - not because it's online but because there is no one in the school that guides you. I reached out to the Program Director and Master's Program Lead of this program all who didn't bother to ever respond or assist. The Program Dean cannot be bothered to assist and the online forum is from 3 years ago and no one uses it.
Terrible schooling, costs WAY more than what it's worth, do not go to this school!!! I am a first year student, and I have to say that getting use to the format is a little challenging; however, I also believe that the challenge is better preparing me for the future. My professors have been amazing at working with me while going through some medical turmoil.
I have been able to remain focused, and the response from my professors has been more than excellent. The tuition is more than many "traditional" state run universities; however, it falls in line with most of the PsyD and other private PhD programs out there. Additionally, they are the one and only APA accredited program that is blended with distance and face-to-face learning. My faculty adviser is more than supportive.
One nice thing is that during two milestones of the graduate program, there are reductions in tuition, such points that I look forward to achieving. The only reason that I did not give a "10" on two of the review questions is because some of the professors do lecture which I believe is a fault once in a while , and the cost of tuition. However, it is all what you make of it, and I plan on making it the best experience of my life.
I am loyal to Fielding as everyone has been supportive and loyal to me. Fielding is an exceptional and unique institution. Faculty are free-thinkers and accomplished clinicians. Students tend to be very friendly to one-another and supportive. I found the experience to be very bonding and made wonderful contacts and friends.
I lack the patience to provide an in-depth review but i did want to comment of some of the negative comments. Fielding has graduated 's of students and I think must had an overall positive experience. I actually had several experiences where clinical directors preferred Fielding students because of past pleasant experiences I should mention that I did have one director that was not fond of Fielding. This is because partially Fielding is not known to many of the sites and because there are so many other applicants it puts Fielding students at a disadvantage.
Fielding because of the nature of the program puts more candidates in the pool of internships as compared to other programs. Good luck with whatever you decide. Fielding was a great experience and the model allowed me to complete my degree while working full-time and completing required travel for work. Faculty were willing to meet with me in the evenings and in weekends and provided consistent feedback and support. It definitely is a model for someone who is driven to complete courses.
I enjoyed the group classes and made lasting professional relationships. The only negative was my experience in the teaching in the virtual classroom courses. The instructor was the self-proclaimed online learning guru - however she displayed antiquated knowledge of modern e-learning trends and the books required referenced MySpace! Overall I highly recommend this program and school.
Their online program is a total joke. They refuse to accept any responsibility for themselves. They like to pass you off to voice mail, which they do not respond to. They lie about what they say they are going to do.
Once they get your money, forget about any assistance. Their is not academic adviser despite what they tell you. They are all promises and good news at fist, but buyer beware. If you have contacts within your profession and you already hold a position such as principal, school superintendent, director, etc and you just want the degree to compliment what you are already doing then Fielding may be the program for you.
I attended fielding and completed one term then left. I receive little to no support from teachers or mentors. I felt insulated and received very little help or advice on writing my dissertation or picking classes. The only time I felt I got any real concern was when I decided to leave the program, only then did someone wanted to meet with me. If you don't mind an isolated experience where you will not get to know your teachers or other students then Fielding is your program.
A Fielding degree may hold as much value as a degree from Phoenix expensive and worthless. My experience at Fielding thus far has been tremendous. The program is rigorous, the faculty are great, and I love my peers. Coming from an ivy league master's program I was apprehensive before applying. I did some research, spoke with faculty and students and felt Fielding's program was the only one for me.
I am confident I made the right choice. It has been an exceptional academic, personal, and professional experience. The faculty are truly invested in the students. The combination of face to face and online learning is quite beneficial. I feel connected to the faculty and my peers. I have learned a great deal and made some best friends along the way.
I am proud to be a Fielding student and look forward to being a Fielding alum! Way too many problems and issues that I care to write about. They paint a pretty picture when you initially start, but once you're hooked - it becomes an absolute nightmare. Caveat emptor! This is a for profit school, though they are registered as a non-profit.
Professors are more concerned about their reputations and keeping up appearances than your furthering your career.
