Social change: a conscious decision to have a positive impact on the lives of other people. In engaging in social change, our lives become richer. Our possibilities expand. At Walden University, we embrace the notion that with focused action and well-developed strategies, individuals can have an impact on the world around them.
Advocacy and activism are at their best when informed by research, critical thought, and analysis. In the same way, theoretical knowledge is deepened by the influence of practical application. We expect that our students will leave our Ph.D. programs as scholar-practitioners, well-equipped to approach the task of social change. Our faculty, students, and graduates touch the lives of many people. Finding contemporary answers to the challenges of an ever-changing society is what they do best.
