For over 30 years, Walden University has been a leading provider of quality distance higher education. Today, they have students from more than 30 countries and all 50 United States, and they understand what it takes to help adult learners succeed. A Walden education features the flexibility and convenience of distance learning, which allows busy professionals to balance work, family and education.

Students at Walden graduate with a respected degree from a university with the highest academic standards, usually in less time than it would take at most traditional universities. It is important for students who invest time and resources into earning a degree to make sure that degree comes from an accredited university. Walden University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, one of the nation's six regional accrediting associations recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

Walden University earned recognition recently when it was chosen as one of only 10 institutions nationally to participate in the U.S. Department of Education's Distance Education Demonstration Program, which was designed to explore ways for online learning to be more accessible for learners and to lower the cost of quality online education. The University was established in 1970 and has been accredited by the North Central Association since 1990, making it one of the most experienced providers of graduate distance learning education in the U.S. Walden University focuses on the needs of adult learners, giving them an experience that is enhanced with a highly customized program that is directly related to their individual career goals.

Walden University maintains a low student/faculty ratio that enables students to consistently have direct access to faculty members. Faculty members actively participate in students' learning experiences, from designing a program of study to reviewing a thesis or dissertation. Faculty exchange ideas with and give support to students via online exchanges. Many students report that they receive far more personalized support at Walden than they did at traditional universities in the past. Walden faculty members are trained and knowledgeable in online instruction and facilitation. Each program at Walden University uses the best of today's e-learning practices, and the curriculum is designed specifically for distance learning delivery.

Students have access to customer service and technical support from the moment they decide to enroll at Walden University. Students go through a software orientation, led by a concierge, that familiarizes them with Walden's distance learning environment before they begin classes. Academic advisors and faculty advise students on program planning, University procedures, course registration and curriculum and degree completion. Available online or by phone, academic advisors monitor students progress, offer assistance throughout a student's entire academic career, and serve as a link between students and faculty.
