In 1970, two teachers were inspired to create better opportunities for adult learners pursuing advanced degrees—and Walden University was born. Today, we’re at the forefront of delivering high-quality education for working professionals.

Here’s what makes Walden an innovative online university:

• A Focus on Social Change – Our curriculum is designed to help students become changemakers, not only in their professional fields but within their larger communities as well.
• Flexible Learning Formats – Your learning style and schedule are unique. We offer flexible ways to learn—like Tempo Learning®, our competency-based option.
• Dedicated Student Support – You’re never alone at Walden. Our student support teams are here for you every step of the way, so you can stay on track and thrive in your program.
• Expert Faculty – Learn from respected faculty who bring real-world insights to the online classroom.

We believe in making online education personal. That means each one of our student services is backed by a dedicated support team. As a Walden student, you have access to a wide range of support services to help you succeed, including Student Success Advisors, tutors, 24/7 technical support, and a Career Planning and Development Center.

• Enrollment – Our Enrollment Specialists serve as your guides and help provide information about programs, the online learning experience, admission requirements, the online application process, and more.
• Financial Aid – Before you enroll, financial aid advisors work with you to identify available resources to help fund your education.¹
• Academic – After you enroll, you’ll be assigned a Student Success Advisor who will answer your questions about university policies and procedures, help you acclimate to the online classroom, track your academic progress, and guide you through a wealth of student resources.
• Technical – Our Customer Care Team can help you navigate Walden’s online learning environment and assist you with any administrative or technical issues.
• Career – Our Career Planning and Development Center provides personal, one-on-one guidance and online networking events as well as essential career tools and resources.

A diverse, respected faculty is the cornerstone of the Walden learning experience. These skilled educators and practitioners in academia, business, education, nursing, and other fields excel at integrating their real-life lessons and experience into their teaching and academic leadership.

They understand the needs of adult learners who must balance their studies with work and family demands. Whether they’re celebrating your achievements or holding flexible office hours, our faculty actively support your success.
