Begin your journey with Fielding Graduate University.

A unique aspect to Fielding Graduate University ceremonies is that, time permitting, our masters and doctoral graduates each speak about their Fielding experience and what earning the degree has meant to them. Our ceremonies are not merely about crossing a stage, but an acknowledgment of the support the graduate received to accomplish their goal and the transformational journey it entailed.
