I have not attended Fielding, but I imagine a search on this forum will turn up thoughts from those who have or those who considered it.

The people that are telling you it’s awful are better sources of information than actual graduates of the program. The people on this board make hiring decisions and will toss out Fielding students’ CVs because of the poor quality of the program. I’m certain that if you look hard enough you will find someone who will rave about the program. But keep in mind that former students might also be trying to convince themselves that they made the right decision. https://www.fielding.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Student-Admissions-Outcomes-and-Other-Data-1.pdf ^^These outcome stats are among the worst in our field. It’s a huge red flag. There are other ways to achieve your goals if you are location restricted. But if you are dead set on a PhD in Clinical, you will need to look elsewhere.

I've intermittently worked with a Fielding trainee or two and have reviewed applications for a handful more, and can say the training (in my experiences) left a lot to be desired. Even with the highly motivated students, their opportunities and program support appeared very limited and the former of highly variable quality, and they were fighting a very steep uphill battle relative to their peers from other programs in terms of competitiveness and competency.

In a VERY competitive academic market, you will have an extremely difficult time becoming a professor with a "degree" from Fielding.

Don't do it. Many never finish. Fewer get licensed. Then you need to convince someone to hire you bc most don't view Fielding as a real program (myself included). APA-acred is a bare minimum and states are getting stricter w requirements.  

Don't take our word for it. Look at the CVs/resumes of faculty at universities you would like to be employed by in the future. Pay attention to their graduate programs, internships, and post docs. Look at how many times they moved. Look at the number of publications each has. Then think about whether you will be competitive for that job coming from Fielding. Are you ready to put in that kind of work?

You should spend some time learning how the job works. Professors get hired because they publish research. That publication history starts in undergrad, gets solidified in grad school, and leads to professorship. Most research requires an "institutional review board", per federal rules. You'll notice that "qualitative research" rarely requires an "institutional review board". And that most online schools talk about "qualitative research". TL; DR: The school format is grossly incompatible with becoming a professor. caveat: The only SDN action I have been threatened with a lawsuit is related to talking about online schools. And I talk a LOT of smack. Notice how Harvard doesn't threaten to sue? That should tell you something.

So what if I only go into private practice. Does any of it matter then? If I can get the internship - even with Fielding's program- can I go into private practice on my own and pretty much I do not have to worry about someone hiring me?

I don't want to drop dreams of academia, but I am trying to gauge what I can accomplish. The closest university to me is Fuller Theological Seminary. They require a reference from a pastor etc. I'm actually from a very religious background so that is fine, but I was still hoping that Fielding would be doable for me. The bluntness is fine. I am gambling a lot here. I've already invested about 6k in this goal by attending a university that has enabled me to work with a PI and his lab. I am first author on a poster we will present soon. He's going to let me pursue research topics of interest to me. My GPA from undergrad was 3.9 and I minored in Psychology. I'm an extremely resourceful person which is why I think maybe I am blinded to the possibility that I can't do something or that it isn't an option for me. I've been working crisis lines for over a year now and cannot think of anything else I would rather do more than this sort of work. I do not want to be a marriage and family therapist. at all. I want to work with children and adolescents within the realms of depression and suicidology. I want to be able to diagnose mental illnesses and personality disorders. So. if I can go to Fielding- get the internship- do the postbac hours locally and get research done with the fielding professors- and publish my research- then am I still doomed? I appreciate these thorough answers. I do not want to waste time and money. I would love to hear more of what you mean about requirements and how the APA accreditation is becoming insignificant etc. I'm not aware of the current hiring situation.

I agree with @summerbabe . I wasn’t saying APA internship match rate wasn’t important, I was only saying one bad match year isn’t always indicative of a bad program—look at the past 5-10 years and average out the APA internship match rate. I’m wondering if you have a misconception about MFTs and what a master’s in it will prepare you to do, perhaps? Plenty of MFTs I know work with children and adolescents (or adults only, and not necessarily couples work), and I know several MFTs in private practice. As far as personality disorders, you will have to make sure you have a practicum (clinical work) or internship or postgraduate hours in a setting in which your supervisor specializes in a/some personality disorder(s) for you to get appropriate training as a specialty if that’s what you’d like to work with regularly (are you JUST wanting to diagnose it often as in providing formal personality assessments and reports but not providing ongoing therapy? Then that’s a different ballgame entirely that would require a doctorate to provide formal assessment services. You can, however, diagnose personality disorders with a master’s degree if it’s clearcut and there’s no ambiguity in the client’s presentation). Inpatient settings might be a good bet for more experience with personality disorders should you hope to specialize. But it’s partially on you to make sure you get that experience as part of your training if you want that skill. MFT degrees provide a background in therapy with a little coursework in family/couples therapy and family systems, as far as I know, but they also still train you in general counseling skills and diagnosis so you have flexibility. It’s the most common counseling degree in California (an MA in Counseling is less popular in the state), but in practice is not much different from an MA in counseling or a clinical SW degree (except LCSW’s have more flexibility in terms of roles and settings they can work in and a different training foundation).  

NeuroJaguar

Sounds like you would be a good fit for a Master's in Social Work to become an LCSW. As an LCSW, assuming you get clinical experience in the settings you want to work in during your training and unlicensed supervised years, you will be qualified to work with children and adolescents with depression and suicidality, as well as to diagnose conditions in the DSM. You may also then be qualified to teach as an adjunct professor at Social Work programs. Since you don't have geographic flexibility, I really don't think a clinical psychology doctorate is going to work out for you. To get good training, you need to be able to move around the country various times. Fielding is not going to prepare you for the career you want to have. It will be a waste of money and time. I don't hear anything that you want to do that you can't do as an LCSW, except be deeply involved in academia, which in my experience inherently involves geographic flexibility. You can certainly work with the populations you want to work with, in the ways that you want to work with them as an LCSW, all with your geographic limitation.  

Mindfulpsych22

Yes. I have worked in settings that primarily treat suicidal youth and the clinicians are a mix of master's level and doctoral level providers. They do the exact same clinical duties. I did a google search of DBT programs in the LA area (these will be programs that specialize in treating suicidal youth and personality disorders) and you can see that many of the staff are masters level clinicians: Therapists – Westside DBT CBT California . I think getting some sort of professor gig with a Fielding Doctorate and the limitations you mentioned will be far-fetched but you can have the exact clinical career you want by going to a reputable master's program and being strategic with your practicum and post-degree training opportunities. IMO, this is the best use of your time and money.  

Thank you everyone. This is a wealth of information for me. One thing I don't think I fully understand is-- why does the training for academia require moving about the country? I've seen this mentioned a few times in this thread and I don't think I've accepted and/or understand it. So let's say I earn my PhD and license from Fielding and then what? Those postdoc hours of training require moving to different places?  

Also are there reputable online master's programs online?  

Also- what do you think about this? Licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) and clinical psychologists both have the goal of helping patients with their problems through evaluation and treatment. The main difference between LCSW and psychologist job duties lies in the authority that clinical psychologists may have to prescribe certain specific medications and to perform psychological testing. These in-demand counseling occupations also differ in the type of graduate degree needed and expected wages. Clinical psychologists have a doctoral education that leads to a higher salary than what LCSWs make, while LCSWs have slightly better career prospects in terms of job growth and ease of entry into the occupation. This is obviously a cut/paste, but my motivation is decreased with the thought of pursuing a LCSW rather than a PhD for many of the reasons listed above.

***** You have not spent enough time learning about how the profession works. This is a HUGE mistake that will affect you. This is almost a 10 year commitment, with a median debt load of ~100k. If you cannot be bothered to commit 20 hours to learning how things like internship works, you will likely be unable to commit the time needed to successfully complete a program***** 1) You might benefit from reading about the required career path. Internship is more like residency for physicians. You cannot graduate without an internship. This is not like a college "internship", where you get someone in your city to make one up. This is a highly formalized process, where there are places that have spent hundreds of hours and tons of money to become an internship site, that is registered with the formal educational body that accredits internships. There are a limited number of internships sites, and those places get their pick of the litter. You apply to one of the available sites, interview, and get "matched" to one of those on "match day". After you complete internship, you graduate. But you're not licensed. So, once you graduate, you have to complete a post doc to get licensed. If you specialize, there are formal training requirements for those as well. 2) Academia is a ridiculous profession, where your real worth is publishing research. Teaching is more of an additional duty. To get hired, you have to show that you have a history of publishing research. But, you also have to get grant money to finance your research. Guess how grants determine who to give money to? How much the applicant has published. The universities, therefore, hire established researchers who stay in those positions forever unless they are offered awesome gigs in cool places. And then grad students teach. Because everyone wants to live in the cities, the job openings are in like... IDK...northern Idaho. And community colleges pay almost minimum wage. 3) I would be VERY concerned if you thought you could work full time during grad school. 4) Private practice is running a small business. It's not a simple matter. There are start up costs, gaps in your schedule, and variability in pay. The entire, "I'll only see patients while my kids are in school" thing is nonsense.

To summarize what folks are saying: academia is EXTREMELY competitive, even for folks from far more reputable schools than Fielding, and usually the end result is living wherever the job is in the US. It will be difficult if not impossible to become a tenure-track professor with a Fielding degree. Private practice can take YEARS to build (mine took a few years to fill up a small part-time practice), and you may lose money initially given the costs to start (insurances, office, furniture, marketing/websites, etc.). It’s expensive if you start out without another job as a cushion for sure, and will require another source of income initially (ie a spouse). It’s doable, but only if you’re patient and willing to spend a lot of unpaid hours researching as you go. The other important point that folks are making regards the difficulty of graduate school in terms of investment of time, energy, and money, and aptitude. Online programs in our field are, to put it bluntly, willing to take pretty much anyone for money without a care for what happens on the other side. Which is a problem. That means no quality control in terms of who should and shouldn’t be practicing, and possibly harm to clients and our entire profession at the other side. Acceptance rates shouldn’t be high for graduate school because it requires a special subset of skills and aptitudes. People don’t work full-time during grad school because grad school IS the focus. Part-time work is common, but definitely not full-time in reputable programs, regardless of whether they are masters or doctorates. You aren’t the first person in here who wants to get a graduate degree and wants to sort of do it on the side while life is happening because why shouldn’t we have it all?Unfortunately, that isn’t how grad school works when people take it seriously. It takes sacrifices. For folks not prepared to make those sacrifices, they get a rude awakening when they actually realize how much time, money, and energy it will cost them. Not to mention the delay of waiting several years before making a decent income between grad school, supervised practice before licensure, and then being paid less as an early career professional once you get out. OP, I’d suggest that you take some time to reflect on how many years you’re willing to sacrifice to your future career prospects and consider which path will make the most sense for you. Bottom line, online programs are not the way to go. Most of us wish they'd be shut down to protect students, the public, and our profession as a whole, but because they aren’t regulated, they prey on “busy” people who want to get an advanced degree but don’t know the ropes of how the system works (and allow folks who wouldn’t otherwise get into grad school at all because they lack the aptitude, ethics, drive, etc.). California is also a state completely saturated with master’s level therapists and psychologists. Attending a terrible program will immediately make you less competitive out of the gate even before the interview stage of getting a job (when they see your resume/CV). And I say that as a psychologist who had some difficulty getting an adjunct teaching gig in this state coming from a reputable APA-accredited program out of state. I was shocked by the number of applications that never even received a response. As I said, give things some more thought (consider the costs and benefits and sacrifices), and perhaps that will help you decide the best path for yourself?

summerbabe said: Academia and becoming an expert in a subfield of psychology is a really specialized training process/career, as opposed to becoming a social worker or mechanic so people end up relocating to attend funded programs and work with PIs with aligned interests and a track record of mentoring students who go on to find jobs in academia rather than whatever program is closest. Then, people will relocate again to attend internship and potentially a research postdoc before heading out on the job market. Some may move again within a few years after getting their initial assistant professorship in search of better opportunities (salary, research funding, geography). I was raised in the Bay Area and did my PhD at a state school in the deep south. Of the 25+ professors in our various psych PhD programs, I think only like 3 or 4 were originally from the state or region. Everybody else was a transplant and came there for the job and then settled (or were looking to move on elsewhere for a better gig). Click to expand...

@lisajones81 If you really want to get into the field of mental health, start with a master's program. Find a flexible, part time program near you. Once you have finished the program and get licensed you can start working in the field. You can come back and continue onto a doctoral program later in life. You can even find work teaching as a master's-level instructor. This would be the safer route to start out with. It gets you back into school, it will get you acquainted with the mental health field, and it helps you avoid potential major pitfalls. Remember, the posters on this board have little reason to dissuade you (so, if they are you should take stock of that). People that work or have attended these programs are going to be much more biased by their experiences.

One of my friends graduated from Fielding and is a licensed psychologist. She seems to be doing okay. She was also relatively limited in her options (also a mom), and was looking at only online programs; I think Fielding is the only APA-accredited one, so it was her preferred option. You might be able to search for students of the program on LinkedIn to connect and ask their experience if you are having a difficult time finding people who attended the program to give you feedback. Otherwise, perhaps if you contact Fielding directly, they would know of students willing to speak with you. I am older, with multiple children, and it has definitely been a challenge. This year has been the hardest actually, with spending a lot of time working on my dissertation and internship applications, as it is the most time I've had to give up spending with my kids, and next year will be even harder at a full-time internship (assuming I match). I believe California offers some part-time internships. Otherwise, as many others before me have noted, there are other avenues to pursue the same goal if you think a doctoral program would not work at this time. Wishing you the best with your journey!  

• Dec 1, 2021

I would like to stress that the feedback you’ve received thus far is grounded not only in providing reasoned guidance to you but playing a gate-keeper function for the profession. I think everyone can understand the constraints that people sometimes have in their lives and how they can make shortcuts seem reasonable and attractive. I think you’ll be hard-pressed to find respected professionals in this field (or those of us in process) who will validate or even loosely support a decision to take a shortcut. Such paths shortchange the student, the clients they potentially serve, and anyone else to whom they offer professional services. It can be difficult to see all the factors at play from the outside looking in where training is concerned. You’ve made a smart choice by seeking out input from those who have already traversed this path.

lisajones81 said: I am a mom of four kids. I was a teacher. I quit when I had kids. Now, like ten years later, I want pursue my PhD in psychology to fulfill my end goal of becoming a professor and/or having my own practice. I cannot drive to any of the schools in my southern california area because they all take 2 hours in traffic one-way and I am the main support for the kids. So. Fielding offers me the opportunity I need/want to do this. I can do the hybrid part in Santa Barbara or wherever else- I just can't go daily each week to a school all day. It's the only hybrid I know of that is APA accredited- but everyone keeps saying it's awful and going there is a waste of money etc. But it's go there or wait ten years before I can start anything. I can't find people who have actually graduated from Fielding to ask these questions. I've messaged a few people on linkedin but havent heard back. Please say someone here has earned their PhD in clinical psyc from fielding. Click to expand...

Department of Geography

Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)

The Ph.D. is a different kind of degree from the master’s degree. A doctoral candidate in geography must be capable of making original contributions to knowledge and scholarship. For the students to make such contributions, they must concentrate on a narrow and clearly defined field of study. We require, however, that doctoral candidates know more of geography than their particular specialties; thus, any aspirant for a doctorate must obtain master’s training or its equivalent before being admitted to doctoral candidacy. In short, admission to doctoral candidacy is official recognition that a student’s general foundation in the breadth of geography is satisfactory. Students then devote their attention to developing depth in chosen specialties.

The general requirements for a doctoral degree in geography are more rigorous than those for a master’s degree. At the same time, the greater flexibility of the doctoral program allows advanced students to pursue programs of study tailored to their special interests and needs.

Progress through the degree is marked by: 

• Successful performance in a verbal qualifying exam; 
• Four-day written comprehensive exam, with a verbal portion after the written answers have been assessed by the committee;  
• Formal dissertation proposal; and 
• Verbal defense of a completed dissertation.

The four-year Ph.D. program is reserved for students who have a master’s degree from another graduate program. That can be another geography program at another university, a non-geography program at another university, or a non-geography program at Penn State.

Students entering the four-year Ph.D. program must take the doctoral qualifying exam in their first year. A committee from three of the four fields of geography and formally appointed by the Graduate Program Officer will administer the qualifying exam. The qualifying exam can take place any time during the year, but students in the four-year Ph.D. program typically take it during spring semester.

Students in the four-year Ph.D. program complete a comprehensive exam and defend their dissertation proposal in the second year. Depending on the needs of their research, and in agreement with their doctoral committee, students can fulfill these two requirements in either order. Once students have successfully passed their comprehensive exam and defended their proposal, they typically take two years to research, write, and defend their dissertations.

Our online Graduate Student Handbook explains the program requirements for all degrees.
