Fielding Graduate University has been selected out of nearly 8,000 postsecondary schools as the recipient of a Best Value School award.
The award is issued by BestValueColleges.org, dedicated to improving the process of how a student selects a postsecondary school.
“Given Fielding’s focus on providing affordable and personalized graduate education through our technologically-advanced face to face learning model, we are truly honored to receive the Best Value School award for a second consecutive year,” noted Fielding President Katrina Rogers, PhD.
President Rogers accepted the award on behalf of the university from URR founder Joseph Schmoke. “It is our distinguished pleasure to present the award to Fielding Graduate University,” Schmoke states. “We hope current students and alumni take pride in this honor and anyone searching for a quality, reasonably priced college education strongly considers Fielding.”
The committee that reviewed more than l00 nominees out of the thousands of eligible schools is made up of former university presidents, CEOs, provosts and professors. Schools cannot pay to receive the award; it has to be earned through the nomination and committee evaluation process. Fielding was chosen by the committee because it passed rigorous standards including a combination of cost, accreditation, variety and quality of school programs, and student satisfaction with the institution.
President Rogers added, “Here at Fielding, we hold ourselves to the highest educational standards to foster individual development, community collaboration and societal engagement. We are proud to be recognized for the true value we bring to our students’ educational careers.”
“Our committee prides itself on combining our extensive experience, knowledge of postsecondary education and insight into what provides students with good value when selecting a Best Value award recipient,” said Schmoke.
Fielding will retain the Best Value School designation for one year. Award recipients must re-qualify every year.
