Walden University was founded by two teachers seeking a better way for adults to pursue advanced degrees without leaving the workforce. That vision meant rethinking a brick-and-mortar classroom to allow broader access through distance education. Our proven track record in online higher education has grown our learning community to include more than 46,500 students and more than 49,500 alumni worldwide. Today, we continue to find new and innovative ways to support the unique needs of adult learners like you.

Our students, alumni, faculty, and staff bring our mission to life through research, conferences, and service projects focused on effecting positive social change.
