About Walden University

Our Mission of Effecting Positive Social Change

At Walden University, we believe that knowledge is most worthy when it is put to use in the interest of the greater good. There is a bridge between theory and practice. We cross this bridge through experience, trials, errors, revisions, and discoveries. Something powerful happens when working professionals take the time to question assumptions, problem-solve, and collaborate. They become scholar-practitioners: a critical hybrid of "thinker" and "doer." It is in this space that new solutions are imagined and visions created. You'll find this experience at Walden University.

Our online community encourages a level of diversity that cuts across geographic and cultural boundaries. By doing the hard work of research, analysis, and critique, Walden students hone the skills they need to make substantive changes in their communities, organizations, and the world around them.
