I got my Masters and working on PhD at this University... Great school! My graduate study at Walden will contribute to me becoming a Psychologist with a private practice; my goal. The jobs that I have experienced has brought me to the realization that much is needed in this world. I think that this is the consciousness of social change; the changes in human interactions and relationships that transform cultural and social societies. That is why I consider myself a constant or lifelong learner. I feel it keeps me obligated to my future. The many roles of women, mother, student and partner keep me as a continuous learner.

Studying at Walden is fun. The online programs are best suited for the working student. The instructors are very friendly and approachable. The course content is well structured to allow critical thinking and interaction with other students in the class. The assignments challenge the students to think critically about concepts and to integrate the concepts learned into practice. The other services like the learning center, the writing center the library academic advising and 24 hours online help enhance the student learning experience at Walden. I look forward to pursuing my doctorate at Walden University and hope someone else finds this experience exciting!
Walden University has been an amazing experience, I was feeling that I had not really grown as a student or a person, but then I sat down and began to reflect. I started off not having any proper knowledge on how to cite information as that was not something really taught in high school if it was it was not stressed. I have found that my perspective and prior knowledge when I first started was very limited, and know I have such a broad perspective and I have grown as a person it is very exhilarating! I couldn't be more grateful to attend Walden University.
