Recent Engagement
Fielding Graduate University – Excelsior University
ELM2 Advisors advised and represented Fielding Graduate University in its combination with Excelsior University. Fielding will merge into Excelsior and become the Fielding College of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences, carrying forward Fielding’s mission, faculty and academic identity — including the only APA-accredited clinical psychology doctoral program delivered through a distributed model.
The governing boards of both universities unanimously approved the agreement. The institutional accrediting bodies have approved the agreement, and it is awaiting federal approval.
