About Walden University

Visit Walden University

Walden University is a private, for-profit, accredited online university. The university was founded in 1970 by two teachers, Bernie and Rita Turner, who collaborated with Harold Hodgkinson, a faculty member at the University of California, Berkeley. Together, they sought a way for adults in the workforce to pursue their doctoral degrees. Moreover, they envisioned an institution that was both ‘student-centered’ and focused on positive social change.

Today, as ever, Walden continues to support the unique needs of adult learners. Look for masters, doctoral and certificate programs that span health sciences, counseling, criminal justice, human services, management, psychology, education, public health, nursing, social work, public administration, and information technology. Find programs that support the scholar-practitioner model and encourage students to apply their know-how for the common good.

Student Reviews
  • The school is full of many supportive people who genuinely care for each other. You just really need to join something that interests you and then you'll be able to find some great friends. People seem very chill for it being considered a top university. Definitely a calmer atmosphere compared to schools like Stanford and Berkeley.
  • The university provides the best of both academics opportunities as well as extracurricular activities in order to help their students explore and/or grow their skills on a specific or variety of fields. Their goal is to get their students involved in what they love in order to grow and expand the students knowledge.
  • Overall, I love being a student at USC. On campus, I am a research assistant, a newspaper writer, and a dancer on the competitive hip-hop team. I've met a wide variety of students at USC, some who astound me with their intelligence and hobbies. I love talking to my professors during their office hours. The downsides to being a USC student is that a lot of things are inordinately expensive, the tuition keeps rising (unnecessarily), and the area around it is not super nice.
