Admissions University Standard For admission to any Fielding program leading to a degree (master’s/doctorate), except the accelerated MA in Organization Development and Leadership, it is required - at minimum - that the applicant submit an official transcript of an earned bachelor’s or master’s degree from a US college or university accredited by a regional accrediting agency or one recognized by the United States Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, or an equivalent international degree as determined through an official course-by-course evaluation by an approved independent international transcript evaluation agency. In addition, the following Fielding Graduate University programs require that the bachelor’s or master’s degree institution be regionally accredited by a US regional accrediting agency, or an equivalent international degree as determined through an official course-by-course evaluation by an approved independent international transcript evaluation agency:
• • •
Clinical Psychology PhD program Respecialization in Clinical Psychology certificate program Neuropsychology certificate program
The accelerated MA in Organization Development and Leadership program may accept an official transcript or an official confirmation via a degree verification service of an earned bachelor’s or master’s degree from a US college or university accredited by a regional accrediting agency or one recognized by the United States Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, or an equivalent international degree as determined through an official course-bycourse evaluation by an approved independent international transcript evaluation agency. For any academic credit bearing activity at Fielding that does not result in the conferral of a degree (certificate programs and non-matriculated academic credit) the program must require for admission, at minimum, an official confirmation via a degree verification service and/or direct confirmation with the awarding institution’s records office that the applicant has completed a baccalaureate degree or higher from a regionally accredited US institution or one recognized by the United States Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, or an equivalent international degree. Transcripts used to request transfer credits must meet the accreditation requirements, and if an international transcript, must be submitted through an official course-by-course evaluation by an approved independent international transcript evaluation agency. Applicants for admission to any Fielding academic credit program who have international degrees will need to have their international transcripts evaluated for degree equivalency with a course-by-course evaluation, unless their international degree program has an established articulation agreement with Fielding. Applicants should review the information about those organizations that Fielding has approved to provide such evaluations.
