Fielding Celebrates 50 Years!
Since 1974, Fielding Graduate University has been on the cutting edge of the social sciences, from its early adoption of the distributed-learning model to its focus on adult learning. 2024 is our 50th Anniversary year, and our community has moved Fielding forward for five decades – and will continue to do so through transformative scholarship and practice for years to come.
“Graduate Education is a vehicle for social action.” – President Katrina S. Rogers, Ph.D.
