| "Human Development and OD Ph.D for mid-career professionals" |
Graduates are in the human services professions, in education, in business and
industry, or in private consulting. Many continue in positions they previously
held but gain additional responsibilities or find the kinds of projects they are
assigned more interesting and challenging than before. Some connect with one of
the many new opportunities they discover within the Fielding community. Most
students find a new level of personal and professional enthusiasm in whatever
they choose to pursue.
Fielding is building it's alumni network (over 600 alumni) but hasn't done much
in developing formalized career placement resources. Many students enter the
program with mid to upper level management experience. Some students, however,
use Fielding as a way to get into mid and upper level management.
Fielding's School of Human and Organization Development has been called the
Harvard of Organization Development (OD). For those who affiliate with OD
Network, Fielding graduates and faculty are frequently found among the top
presenters, leaders and facilitators. In the widely dispersed field of human
development, Fielding graduates are well represented, serving as educators,
administrators and social change agents. Fielding faculty and graduates are well
represented, too, on the faculties of both private and public institutes of
higher learning in the US and abroad. Finally, research done by faculty,
graduates and students is published by the most prestigious of scholarly
publishing houses and journals in human development, organization development,
management, sociology, political science, communications and social work.
