![]() Just like any school, some professors are incredible and some are checked out a bit. The school has a ton of resources but most students don't take advantage of them because they're already overwhelmed with classwork and don't make or have time to research them. But depending on what program you choose, you may only have a few residencies to do, and before you know it you're on your last one and working on your dissertation. You cannot earn a PhD all online, even at Walden. It is a blended program, which means that you do need some in person residencies at the very least to graduate. Just like any other program, if you stay organized, resilient, and focused, you will do well. The work load is heavy, but so is any graduate program. Many of the students are quite a bit older, but it leads to unique life experiences and perspectives being added to the discussions. Internship sites often comment that they prefer Walden students because they tend to be more mature. Depending on the state you live in, some consider a degree from Walden University rather prestigious. So while attending Walden University may not appear to be prestigious, graduating from the PhD program shows persistence at the very least. The graduation rate is under 20% for PhDs. Many will be admitted, but most don't graduate. Needs a lot of self motivation, but at the end you will be more prepared to work on your own than most other schools.
