Flexibility Designed for Working Adults
Request InformationWhen it comes to online education, one size does not fit all. At Walden, you can choose the learning option that works best for you.
A University for Working Professionals
As an adult learner, you have your own learning style. You also have a full schedule. That’s why we offer online education options designed to fit your needs. In addition to Walden’s standard course-based experience, you can explore a range of learning options—including Tempo Learning®—that help you balance school with life’s everyday demands.
Course-Based Learning
If you prefer an instructor-led approach and learning on a predetermined schedule, the standard course-based format, available in all programs, may be a good choice for you.
Additional OptionsWithin our course-based programs, we offer further program-specific options1 designed to meet your unique needs. Some of these include:
- Accelerate Into Master’s (AIM)
- Fast-Track and Accelerated models
- Advanced Standing
- One-Credit Option
To learn more about these program-specific options, contact your Walden Enrollment Specialist. They will walk you through the available choices for the program you’re interested in.
Tempo Learning®
Tempo Learning® is an alternative way to earn your Walden degree. It’s different from our standard course-based learning because you can work at a pace that makes sense for you, and progress once you’ve shown you understand a subject. With Tempo Learning®, you have the flexibility of online learning, plus the ability to personalize and control the length, cost, and pacing of your program.

Recruitment and Retention Road Map for Equity in Education
-
Tempo Learning® by Walden University is a way for students to earn their degree by demonstrating what they know, when they know it. Tempo Learning® allows students to have more control over their schedule and even impact the length of time their degree takes and total cost of their program.
The Tempo Learning® experience is competency-based, meaning you progress by demonstrating knowledge of a subject, when you are ready. It is a different way to complete your Walden degree vs. the traditional course-based experience.
-
Competencies are the skills, knowledge, and abilities a student needs to be successful in their chosen career field. When choosing to do a degree in the Tempo Learning® format, students demonstrate competencies instead of completing courses. This ensures that every graduate can show their current or future employer the specific skills and abilities they’ve learned in their Walden degree program.
-
Tempo Learning® is a custom-paced learning experience – that means that you can learn at the pace that is right for you. With no set weekly deadlines, you can speed up or slow down as your time or knowledge allows. Time to completion therefore varies for each student, based on their available time, experience, and personal goals - your Enrollment Specialist can give you an idea of how long a specific program may take you.

Walden faculty members engage proactively in your learning, sharing their expertise to clarify concepts or provide additional information to ensure you gain the knowledge you need to impact your career. With each competency, you’ll work with experienced Walden faculty members who offer extended support and guidance on content and learning support tools, such as embedded resources, short quizzes, and knowledge checks. Though you have the ability to work independently and at your own pace, faculty are always easily accessible.
