The Student Experience At Walden University, you'll find an active academic community unconstrained by physical boundaries. You'll enjoy the unique perspectives of professors and colleagues from across the country and around the world-with a wide range of professional experiences in the public sector. Despite this richly diverse community, our students and alumni all share a common feature: a rewarding experience at Walden University. "This program has been a real eye-opener for me, and I feel like I've really broadened my thinking. Since I'm from a small town, I find it interesting to get different perspectives on things. I look forward to getting online each night to see how people have responded. With what I've learned at Walden so far, I already feel like I'm prepared to move up in my career. The program has helped me develop my critical thinking and improve my writing. When I started the program, I wasn't very good at time management. With three kids at home and work commitments, time management was something I've had to learn. Walden has helped me become more organized in different aspects of my life both personally and professionally." Allen Sojgron "My experience at Walden has been excellent. The flexibility of the online format is perfect. If I can't sleep, or am in an airport waiting for a plane, or during a break at work, I can log in. Walden is structured around my time. Walden has enabled me to focus my research on the impact of politics on public health and enhanced my ability to analyze public policy and serve the public better. The feedback and support from faculty is very reassuring and validating. Interacting with students from across the nation and in different countries from the comfort of my home is a priceless experience!" Hilda Shepeard "My experience at Walden has been wonderful. I've learned a lot and I think earning my M.P.A. degree helped me with my recent promotion to a bigger city. I love to listen to different perspectives and it's comforting to know that other cities are faced with challenges similar to ours. I'm able to take some of the good ideas I hear and modify them to fit our needs. Unlike a traditional university, there is a lot of discussion - we talk to each other. Friendships are formed. It's not just listening to lectures. Walden has helped give me a bigger vision. I read and get fired up to change the world so much that I can't sleep. It's very motivating." Maura Hoffman-Gray "The quality of Walden's distance learning represents the most effective cutting-edge pedagogy for the 21st century. The program took me to a different level of academic thinking and scholarly work. I've found it to be the best experience I've ever had and worthy of the investment. Walden challenges students to apply what they are learning to their work. The professors are looking to get the best out of you. I have found that my writing skills have improved greatly and the discussions have allowed me to evaluate my work from a different viewpoint. It has provided me with additional confidence and job security." Emmanuel Tetteh |
