ABOUT WALDEN UNIVERSITY

From the moment of Walden University’s founding in 1970, we’ve been committed to expanding access to higher education and empowering the greater good. If you are a working professional or anyone else who needs the flexibility to earn a degree, we’re here for you—and we have the bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral, or certificate program you need to change your life and the lives around you.

Our founders believed that positive social change begins with quality education. Fifty years after they established that guiding vision, we’re doing more than ever to give people like you an opportunity to grow and succeed. We’re accredited by The Higher Learning Commission, a Certified B Corporation®, and fully online with a diverse community that spans the United States and more than 160 countries.

As part of our mission to create opportunities and drive social change, we prepare our students to be scholar-practitioners. At Walden, you’ll engage in innovative coursework and gain the skills and knowledge you need to meet the demands of today’s employers and address the biggest challenges of tomorrow. In addition, you’ll find extensive student support throughout our many programs, including those in health sciences, counseling, criminal justice, human services, management, psychology, education, public health, nursing social work, public administration, and information technology. Together, our students, faculty, alumni, staff, and a growing list of academic, corporate, and government partners are creating real change locally and globally.
