While the schools have prioritized reaching out to alumni for donations, they need to take accountability for improving the job market, to make sure their graduates have jobs. I'm sure the chancellor and other high level staff, sometimes making upwards of a million dollars in salaries, are smart enough to figure out how to help create more jobs and place graduates in them. If you're looking for an education in order to get a job, I'd say pass.

Antioch also failed I think on admission to advise potential students how demanding the years of acquiring "hours" for full licensing would be,adding sometimes many years to the process of becoming a licensed therapist, after a couple years of rigorous study. At critical points Antioch University administratively failed, at significant points, in my path to licensure, to provide important letters and documents to the BBS, allowing progress toward licensure to be delayed by months and months. It was incredibly frustrating. There is an apparent at times near total disregard for students who are alumni, no longer the revenue focus. On two occasions I was left hanging with NO access to essential administrative support. Since you will be dependent on your university for three to six more years after graduation, possibly to even be able to continue your progress to final licensure, consider choosing a different program, a different university that has proper access to what you are likely to need. I wish I had.

Now you can only have a counselor appointment once a month, which makes it extremely challenging for students who have questions or challenges. The only support is a counselor for most things, but too bad. You better pack in all your questions and future questions in your 30 minute once a month session. There's lot of bullying that i've seen on campus, and the staff do nothing about it. As well as much drug use and people smoking weed on campus. If you need to withdraw from a class due to pregnancy or other circumstances, they will not take it off your record unless you PAY TO TAKE MORE CLASSES. Again - they just care about money and the tuition is abnormally high for a community college.

The professors are enthusiastic stewards of knowledge and many are great mentors. The labs do a great job of facilitating research and helping students do work that is rigorous, repeatable, and publishable. I will say remote learning, just like remote work, requires you to be competent at time management and fairly good at self motivation - if you struggle with that and need someone to give you a to-do list for day to day responsibilities in your regular life, you might struggle. If that is the case, I still recommend Fielding, but definitely get a coach outside of it to help you (And lean on their services also! The admin team, librarians, advisors, and professors are excellent).

Attended PGI 2006-2009 aiming for PhD in Depth Psychology. Wound up taking a medical leave final…read moreyear, having to make up a class in 2010; never got on track with Dissertation so settled for an MA. I'll be clear: I came to Pacifica for the experience more than the degree and was not disappointed. There was a range of scholarship within my cohort ranging from the very studious and conscientious to those who invested minimal effort. I was in the middle and struggled to meet the workload while fully employed at a demanding job. 12 years following matriculation, I believe 4 students in my cohort of 20 finished their dissertation. (That may be well under the rate of the other cohort running concurrently with ours that was rumored to be more studious.) 6 people dropped out of my cohort during or after year one, a few more at year two. 11 or 12 finished the three years of study prior to dissertation time. Pacifica is not for everyone and mistakenly is too inclusive. I believe that has fueled problems for the University and some of its students. But I like that there is a quality program that works hard to be accessible to people who would be marginalized in nearly any other academic setting. I have read some very inflammatory statements from unhappy people who attribute dishonesty to the administration and faculty. That was never my experience. I was asked directly by a faculty member about 2008 if I had ever been told program completion would lead equate to licensure and I could honestly say I was never led or misled to believe anything like that. I believe some people may have had their own ideas. My belief is that Pacifica - then and now - markets to and caters to mature adults who want the transformative experience of engagement with other mature adults answering the creative call of Depth Psychology pioneers like Jung and Joseph Campbell. During my time there I had hands on guidance from faculty I respected --with an exception or two--and additional lectures and personal engagement with thought leaders like James Hillman and Marion Woodman. In these exchanges, I felt as though I could go directly to the source of contemporary writers on subjects important to me. Also, during my time then and subsequently I have seen Pacifica faculty deal patiently and kindly with students who had meltdowns over perceived failure to meet narcissistic or childish demands, and students who would not have gained entry to many other universities. And there are students I have know who received scholarship assistance from the University. Money makes the wheels turn, yes, but it is not all about money, either. It is true that PGI is for-profit; mostly it is run, as I understand it, as an employee profit sharing plan so that PGI continues to invest in its people. I believe that is quantitatively different from publicly traded for-profit universities that have an eye on short term gains. Even though I did not complete the degree I sought, and even though I paid full price of about 70K tuition and an additional 25 K in travel, I believe I received a valuable experience. After a 3-year break, I have returned for public programs, certificate programs, and other gatherings over the past five years. I would not say that I "drank the kool-ade", as another reviewer suggested; I would assert I have a different and more confident view of the integrity of staff and administration of PGI.
