Walden’s Values and Mission
Walden University provides a diverse community of career professionals with the opportunity to transform themselves as scholar-practitioners to effect positive social change. Students, faculty, and staff choose Walden because of our commitment to social change, and we keep our values in mind with every action we take.
We are a teaching institution specializing in online higher education. We are committed to inclusive teaching and learning in all our academic endeavors with intentionality, using a framework of shared accountability to enhance and advance the equitable health and wellbeing of communities, systems, and organizations.
Our Students
Walden is a broad-access institution. We teach the students we have, nurture their curiosity, and support them as they develop academic skills to reach their degree goals. Walden serves a majority female-identifying student body, with over 40% African American and Black students and over 40% White students, as well as over 15% Latino/a/x and Asian and Pacific Islander students. We proudly embrace our LGBTQIAA+, (dis)abled, and first-generation college students, working parents and caregivers, as well as military veterans, and the unique cultural, linguistic, ethnic, and religious backgrounds of all our students. Most importantly, we acknowledge the impact of intersectionality on the lives of our students, and we strive to provide community, support, and rigor tailored to the individuals that are our students.
Adtalem believes in a culture of collaboration, creativity, and innovation, which thrives when we can work flexibly.
