Fielding Graduate University

The School of Human and Organizational Development (HOD) offers a path to scholarship and lifelong learning for professionals who want to expand their knowledge, improve their research skills, and create a more reflective practice. Collaborative learning among students, faculty, and alumni is a hallmark of the School of HOD.

Since its inception in 1979, the School of HOD has emphasized the interaction of human behavior and social systems drawing from social sciences, professional literature, and the humanities. This interdisciplinary stance is the strength of our legacy. We seek knowledge in the interplay of research and practice - knowledge that informs action relevant to specific settings, enlightens new theoretical insight, and strengthens the human condition in a global future.

Our flagship doctoral programs in Human and Organizational Systems and Human Development combine small study groups, individual mentoring, workshops and seminars.

Our Master of Arts in Organizational Management and Development program uses online learning cohorts for intensive peer and student-faculty interaction.

Our graduate certificates in Evidence Based Coaching and Integral Studies link practical theories with immediately applicable results for your professional development.

Our continuing education certificate and training programs tailor virtual and face-to-face learning options to the needs of professional, corporate and agency clients.
