Testimonials
The level of attention I got from the professors at Walden made me really happy. You would have thought I was in a classroom and I sat down at their desk every day to talk to them.
Chris ReyBS in Business Administration Graduate
Less than three months after I earned my bachelor’s degree from Walden, I was promoted to a juvenile probation officer.
Lenora J. WhiteBS in Business Administration Graduate
When I have a goal, I do anything to accomplish it. I moved to Charlotte to pursue my career as a NASCAR driver. Walden University gave me a great opportunity to continue my education in an accredited university even when I am traveling all over the country to race.
