We understand! Walden Wayfinder is designed to guide you from career exploration all the way to mapping out your education path and understanding your financial options. Our Personalized Career Opportunity Report (PCOR) tool can help you discover potential careers and the degrees needed to get you there. Best of all, it takes just five minutes to complete. You can use the PCOR tool as many times as you’d like to compare different career options and degree pathways.
Once you’ve identified a few potential careers of interest and the programs that could help prepare you for those careers, you can then use our Build Your Education Plan (BYEP) tool to visualize how each program may look for you. You’ll see: (1) How quickly you can complete these programs; (2) How much your education will cost; and (3) What courses you will likely take. Build different plans for each degree you’re interested in, compare plans, and choose one that best fits your life and aspirations.
