Company History
Fielding was founded in March of 1974 by Frederic Hudson, Hallock Hoffman, and Renata Tesch. The founders envisioned a nationally recognized graduate school based on two notions:
1. Changing demographics were altering the world of higher education: greater numbers of mid-career adults seeking advanced degrees to enhance already established academic and professional skills.
2. Adults learn differently than adolescents and young adults: The traditional pedagogical method of education–active teacher, passive learner–would not be appropriate.
Fielding developed a rigorous, supportive learning model that is flexible, adult-centered, self-directed, practice-oriented, global, and competence-based.
