Student Life
Walden is an online University. However, they offer many resources and services that make online learning as interactive and community-focused as traditional programs. The University’s many flexible paths allow students to maintain their current lifestyle while moving towards their educational goals. In-person residencies, virtual field experiences, and discussions with faculty and peers around the world are just a few of the ways that students can extend their learning beyond the virtual classroom. All programs have multiple start dates throughout the year, and many can be completed completely at your own pace through the innovative TEMPO Learning format.
Online Programs
The online MBA at Walden carries ACBSP accreditation and includes three distinct completion options. The Course-Based MBA follows a 20-month timeline with a predetermined schedule. Specializations for this program include but are not limited to Healthcare Management, Leadership, Marketing, and Project Management. Students who can devote a significant amount of time to their studies may be interested in the Fast-Track Course-Based MBA. This option is significantly less expensive than the Course-Based program and follows a one-year curriculum. There are no specializations available to fast-track students at this time. The Competency-Based MBA provides students with the ultimate flexibility. There are no weekly deadlines or set graduation schedules. Tuition is based on a three month period of unlimited access, which means you can earn your degree as quickly as you wish. Concentrations for this program are Healthcare Management and Project Management.
