New Walden specialization for those who teach adults
Do you teach at a community college or provide training for adults in a school district or corporate setting?
Walden’s new Ed.D. specialization in Higher Education and Adult Learning was designed to help you meet your professional goals.
Risk Management
Enhance your M.B.A. with additional expertise in assessing an organization’s exposure to product, professional, and environmental liabilities. This specialization addresses the area of risk management and insurance through a two-course sequence: the Applications in Corporate Finance course and the Field Study course. The Field Study course pairs you with a School of Management faculty member to develop and work on a project of your choice in the area of risk management and insurance. This specialization was designed with American Institute for Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters designees in mind. If you are a CPCU designee, you can save a significant amount of time and money earning your degree; ask an enrollment advisor for details.
