Walden University

The mission of Walden University is to provide higher education that emphasizes social change for the benefit of individual and society. 

Walden University, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, is a private for-profit online education institution founded in 1970. Walden offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in various fields, including education, health sciences, social work, business, psychology, and public administration. It strives to provide students who may otherwise be unable to obtain a higher education the opportunity a distance learning institution provides for access and flexibility. With its online platform, Walden University serves learners from many backgrounds and locations, to earn their degree while attending to personal or professional responsibilities. Walden University could be seen as a university that promotes social change because it promotes "innovation and social change" as key outcomes along with "lifelong learning" for its students and program participants. In preparing Walden graduates to address relevant issues and transform them into socially viable proposals to benefit their colleagues, their field and the society they are a part of, Walden wants them to leave with a mindset of social change while working with social justice. With their commitment to academic rigor and commitment to equity and diversity (from their stated core value of diversity), Walden University helps prepare students to develop into ethical leaders in their field of competence and competent change agents.
