"Walden is not a university that is student-centered. Working through the coursework is straightforward. The majority of the instructors have been there too long and too comfortable with the 'job'. You will find that most of the instructors have general overall feedback to your work (i.e., form and style could be better, you are on the right path, this section does not map to the rubric). You are teaching yourself 100%. Once you have completed the coursework for your degree, then the non-existent mentorship and committee work is where they prolong your thesis or dissertation. Your goals to have a true mentor to walk you through the process with frequent communication to complete your final project is NONEXISTENT. You could take change your competing priorities and dedicate 100% of your time to the final project and it will not be enough because you MAY have a section approved within 8 weeks and moving on to the next is not their structure. Now you are at this critical point in your education and you have no way out? You are not going to start another program. Do yourself a big favor and find yourself a university that is consistent in its outcomes where there is a bonafide mentorship through your dissertation and an alignment between you, the university professors, and the review committee to achieve the end goal."

"Excellent university! Great learning from qualified faculty within an enabling environment. Fellow scholar-practitioners were from diverse countries, cultures, and backgrounds. Walden University is indeed student-centered with one clear focus - support student learning by providing active staff engaged in relevant capacity building for scholarly academic learning designed to help students succeed. For example, excellent librarians, writing center, current APA support, and statistics courses to augment program courses. Furthermore, CEPH accreditation brought credibility to my Doctor of Public Health degree. Thank you, Walden University for guiding me into being an evidence-based scholar-practitioner in my quest to improve the quality of life of the people I serve, and achieving positive social impact at personal, family, community, country, and global levels! I highly recommend Walden University to new students who want to graduate from the world's largest online higher education university with accreditations recognized worldwide."

"To those of you men and women who are reading this review, I want you to know that dreams really do come true as long as you stay confident and persevere in any situation. I graduated from Walden this past February of 2021 after attending the Barbara Solomon School for Masters of Social Work online program since November of 2017. It is with great pleasure that I inform you all that I have been hired within my current public school district as a Special Education Social Worker, adding about another $30,000 to my yearly income. Also, another goal I would like to achieve in the near future is to determine whether I want to go back for my Doctorate in Social Work as well as take courses in Early Childhood Education. Just like life, education is what you make it and it is true that it does not have to be about the degrees earned but the processed it took for you to obtain that degree. Sincerely, Chazz Young, MSW"

Despite my family and financial challenges, I was able to endure to the end with the full support of the financial team and most importantly for me most of my professors. My time at Walden University will always remain etched in my mind as my most rewarding experience."

"Walden University is an Amazing institution! I began my doctororal degree February 2018 and earned my degree January 2021. The academic staff were great, the advisor made sure I stayed on track with my classes to ensure I was meeting my goal. The workload of the classes were sufficient, although I waited some days until the last minute, it was manageable. The best part of my experience was getting to work with my Chairman, Dr. Peter Kirikiadis. Dr. Peter, encouraged, motivated, pushed, and inspired me to work hard for myself. This was the greatest moment in my life knowing that I was earning this prestigious degree on my own and when it was all over I will be able to look back and say "I did that". Thank you Walden University for allowing me to be a part of The Graduating Class of 2021."

"The completion of my doctoral degree at Walden was a huge learning curve for me. I did not expect such a comprehensive package of courses. They were relevant to my specific area of study and scaffolded the research process. By the end of the doctoral journey, my competence was not limited to one research method but I graduated with expertise in all. The high quality and commitment of the instructors was exceptional. As an international student, the prompt and detailed feedback from my committee was greatly appreciated allowing me to complete within a financially manageable period. For the first time in my career, I focused on social change in education and now I am carrying that torch. Thank you Walden for a doctoral journey which has allowed me the opportunity to take my research efforts globally."

"Doing my doctoral degree at Walden University was a great experience. The quality of instruction was first class even though I did not realize it until I graduated and began helping my peers who were working on their doctoral dissertations and Masters' research. Being a Walden graduate also opened doors of opportunities that I never anticipated, such as presenting at international conferences and getting lucrative job offers. I'm glad I chose Walden over the various other universities that I reviewed in my search for a tertiary institution to do my doctorate."

"I began my Ph.D. journey at Walden University (Walden) in 2017 and was unsure about attending an online school and the quality of education. Walden provided continuous technical and excellent pedagogy support. I became quickly acclimated to the online environment. The resources at Walden are endless and include me using the library, the writing center, the research center, methodology appointments, the availability to chat online, speaking directly on the phone with librarians, writing coaches, and professors in my field of study, and in a timely manner. The course work and dissertation were challenging but prepared me for my profession and taught me how to research, critically think, write, and apply my knowledge. My dissertation chair and committee members were there with me every step of the way. I am excited that I can now share my academic experience with co-workers and the public. I highly recommend Walden and the numerous degree programs at this academy."

"My journey at Walden University has prepared me for greater good of my fellow men and society on a whole. I have met supportive instructors and colleagues, as we collaborated it was like a whole new world of information, strategies and best practices were forth coming. I enjoyed my experience at Walden, most persons seem to be so understanding and mature that the learning community provides equitable access to higher learning irrespective of one's background. Most of the professors that I encountered were diligent and professional in their duties, I only had a bit of challenges with two whom I think were just not so clear with information and very hard to please. Overall, my positive experiences outweigh the hiccups with those two professors. I have been sharing Walden with my colleagues and to date three (3) of my friends have enrolled at Walden, two graduated with me and the other is near completion."

"I can’t even believe this “school” is allowed to operate the way that it does. Their formatting online and portal are from the 1970’s. They hold onto your financial aid for months. Don’t go here. They still owe me money and every time I call, I receive some kind of excuse. This is so weird and the worst “college” I’ve attended."

"I am currently a PhD candidate at Walden University. I am at the proposal review stage. I won’t recommend this university to anyone. Run like Forrest Gump from this school. For the most part, I had to trash myself due to little support from professors. I earned a master’s degree at this university while trying to earn my PhD. Worst academic experience ever. The dissertation process is designed to slow down even the best of students. It is all about the money when you run out they will throw you away like trash. The dissertation process is backwards and redundant. The chairs sit on a judgment seat and boast about having autonomy. Unnecessary revision and lazy professors. Run fast from this university!"

"If you are looking to get a Masters in Nursing for Nurse Practitioner then I would NOT do it. It is a joke. I am a great student, it has nothing to do with that. It's finding a preceptor. They failed to mention when you enrolled that their list of affiliation agreements needs updating (there are facilities on the list that are not even open anymore). The field office will not help or accommodate you. There are other colleges that you can go to that will help you find a preceptor for your clinical, go to them! You will not graduate on time, or have to pay thousands of dollars to a preceptor to get them to take you on. This did not just happen to me but to many others."

"Walden University were being investigated by the US Dept. Of Justice which along with Internet slowdowns during to everyone working online during the covid pandemic, made learning slow. The university kept rejecting my dissertation proposals for a few errors at a time with very little feedback of what was wrong, it felt like a delay tactic, because I had to pay tuition regardless of their lack of teaching. I transferred to another university, accepting a loss of over 6 month's work at Walden that was of no use to me, and thank heaven, it is much better."
