Fielding does not allow, in any of its schools, concurrent enrollment between two degree programs (masters/doctorate). However, the Schools of Human & Organization Development and Educational Leadership & Change do allow concurrent enrollment between a degree program and some of our short-term certificate programs. The School of Psychology does not permit concurrent enrollment in another program(s) at Fielding for any of their students.

Students should consult the Office of Admissions or the Registrar's Office for specifics on which programs allow concurrent enrollment. Bear in mind that separate tuition and fees are charged by each department for each course of study, although discounts are available in some cases. For tuition and fee information, please refer to the Tuition Information section.

Students who wish to transfer from one Fielding program of study to another, must apply to do so, and admission to the new program is not guaranteed. Students must write a letter of application to the Admission Counselor for the new program to which the student is applying, requesting admission to the new course of study. The letter must include reasons for the request and courses completed at Fielding to date. In addition, if no existing articulation agreement between the current and the newly requested program exist, the letter should identify which of the completed courses in the current program, if any, might be applicable to the new program requirements, and rationale, all from the student's perspective. The Admission Office may require that the student complete pieces of, or, the entire admissions application packet, and participate in all other normal application processes (interview, orientation, etc.). The transfer application will be reviewed and action recommended by the Admission Committee of the new program. The Admission Committee will determine whether the student will be admitted to the new program.

If the student's request is reviewed favorably, the Admission Committee will determine whether the student will be required to participate in the orientation session of the program s/he is newly entering, and the Registrar will identify any coursework completed at Fielding in other departments that will be applied to requirements of the new program. 

Articulation agreements have been established between some programs (see below for links to existing agreements), and will be automatically applied to the student's degree audit requirements in the new program upon entry. Please be aware that in the event that the applicant has previously completed more than one Fielding program, there may be a limit to the number of credits that applicant can bring into a particular program via articulation. The following limits apply:
