Accreditation is a key aspect of ensuring the quality and credibility of your master’s degree. There are two main types of accreditation: institutional and programmatic.
- Institutional Accreditation: This type of accreditation evaluates the overall quality and standards of an entire university or educational institution. It ensures that the institution meets high standards in areas such as faculty, curriculum, and student support services.
- Programmatic Accreditation: This type of accreditation focuses on a specific college, school, or degree program within an institution. It provides additional assurance that the program meets the standards set by professional organizations and is often required for certain professional certifications or licensures.
All of Walden University’s online master’s programs are covered by our institutional accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), validating that we embody our mission by operating with integrity, offering student-centered programs, hiring academically qualified faculty, and providing student resources and support. Additionally, certain programs at Walden have secondary, programmatic accreditation. For example, we offer nursing and social work programs accredited by specialized bodies, which can be crucial for preparing for professional certification or licensure.
