Fielding Graduate University, previously Fielding Graduate Institute, and The Fielding Institute, is an accredited nonprofit school offering blended post-graduate education, combining face‐to‐face and online learning.[2]

Fielding Graduate University was founded in March, 1974, in Santa Barbara, California by three founders: Frederic M. Hudson, Hallock Hoffman, and Renata Tesch.[3] They designed Fielding as a graduate program for mid-career professionals that were not being served by traditional universities.

The university's educational model is geared toward adult professionals seeking master's and doctoral degrees. The university offers accredited degree and certificate programs through three schools: Psychology, Human & Organization Development, and Educational Leadership & Change. The programs include distance learning via an on-line campus; individual faculty-student mentoring and assessment; and face-to-face events of various types in many locations throughout the year.

The professions targeted include clinical psychology, media psychology, educational leadership, organizational leadership, and human development, within the corporate, nonprofit, and public sectors. Fielding was the first university to offer a Ph.D program in Media Psychology.[citation needed]

The Fielding Learning Model

Students in each degree program learn through a mix of independent study and structured course work, peer to peer learning, or collaboratively with faculty, both face-to-face and via distributed education systems in courses, seminars and email.

The elements of Fielding's learning model include a student learning plan, contract-based learning, competency-based assessment,[4] student to student peer feedback, project and portfolio reviews, and final thesis or dissertation.
