Here at Fielding Graduate University, we are different from other graduate schools.

Leadership competencies, such as being skillful in emotional and social intelligence, decision-making judgement, and conflict management, are combined with area expertise to create uniquely qualified graduates and leaders in whatever sphere they may find themselves over their life’s journey.
