"Walden is a horrible University to attend. They withdrew me without warning, returned funds to the department of education, and billed me over $3,000.00 which is now in collections because the university does not make reasonable payment arrangements. They wanted over $1,500.00 a month until the bill is paid in full. The advising team does not care they do not advise students about anything, but they do make sure you accept credits for every subscription period so they can get paid. They make notes to your file about conversations that never happened. They failed me terribly and unfortunately at the end of the day we the students are the ones that pay the price. If you have questions there is nobody who can help I spoke to the student affairs, office of the president, and ombudsman's office, with little to no resolution. I requested my academic record and was given the run around finally they decided to send them and they were incomplete and ignore me when I brought it to their attention. The billing department refuses to send itemized anything when I started questioning them they ignored me, closed my request, and referred me back to the student affairs department something does not seem right. If you have options to go elsewhere chose one of your other options and stay away from Walden."

"Loved the Flexability of the tempo program and was able to really put the work in and finish fairly quickly. You don’t get much instructor help or interaction in the tempo programs but that’s what I expected. I will be signing up for my MBA via the Tempo program next. Would recommend!"

"Terrible! Terrible! Terrible! I cannot believe how bad everything was. It was a horrible mistake to go to this university. I thought that this would be okay seeing as it was federally associated but not only was it a money pit, they offered no proper help with anything! I am trying to complete my PMHNP now and basically, you are left alone to learn the material yourself then get tested, and then graded. The teachers don't do anything! When you have to do a practicum, they will tell you they have resources but they do not. Their "resources" is a search of places that have been utilized by other students before then that's it. They do not pay the proctors but will inconvenience them to the point that they will refuse to be proctors. I think the school just does not want you to graduate!!! Then they use castlebranch for "onboarding" which in itself can not be reached and if you ask them to help, they'll tell "oh just call them". Honestly, find somewhere else!"

"Walden University Education is of the highest standard. Students graduated from Walden University are critical thinkers, assertive, independent and well grounded in serving communities and becoming self sufficient. Walden has taught many students to continue to advocate for social changes in underserved communities."

"I earned a PhD in Management in 2018. I am an academic and entrepreneur. My academic profession required a terminal degree to teach in the School of Business. As an entrepreneur, I am able to ground my consulting work in appropriate data methods and approaches. Indeed, this degree prepared me for a higher purpose and better business opportunities."

"Would not recommend Walden to anyone. They don't help you find preceptors and they're way too strict on who you can do it with. Your instructors don't teach you anything, so you have to self teach. When you reach out to someone from the school they just send you verbiage from the handbook instead of working with you to find a solution. If my credits could transfer to another school, I would've done it by now."

"I learned and enjoyed my time at Walden University. I believe getting the doctoral degree is serving me well in my current position. I think the professors, chairpersons and the second/URR committee persons are what really makes the difference. I finished with having a great chairperson and committee. However, I initially did not have the same good graces. My committee helped me to use the education that I received and interject it into the dissertation/case study. My committee talked to me, educated me, guided me towards my degree. I am so thankful for them and how they have to use my "education for good"!"

"Walden University is an exemplary institution that provides rigor and relevance regarding scholar-practitioner development. The curriculum, instruction, and assessment experiences were stellar encouraging networking and learning beyond the pages of the texts. I was able to secure resources from the library, writing center, and career planning and development department throughout my journey. I attended other schools that paled in comparison to the experience at WaldenU. Walden is a hidden GEM that honors its commitment to social change and educating its students. #IAmWalden #MyWaldenU"

"One thing for sure is acknowledging it was not easy. However, it was indeed a challenging experience. I worked towards my master's degree and holding a full-time job while pregnant came with its obstacles. Moreover, I did not allow those obstacles to affect the goal and purpose of retrieving my master's degree. After my son was born at the beginning of January, finishing up the quarter and preparing for my capstone course was necessary. My professors were understanding and patient with me as well. The capstone course made it all worthwhile. I thoroughly enjoyed reading every week and interacting with my colleagues during discussions. You get a sense of whom the person is academically and professionally, opening your mind to different perspectives. It has been a long journey, and I am proud to say that I completed the capstone course and online program successfully. Do not let outside factors keep you from pursuing your dreams and goals in life; let them motivate you to go further."

"I changed my career and now teach online. I feel that my educational journey helped me to become a better business owner and instructor. Walden was the only University to use the term of diversity. In the past, every time I was told how diverse I am, it was always in a negative tone. I learned that diversity is a positive and appreciate that Walden helped change my course in life."
