A Little History
Walden University was founded by two New York teachers, Bernie and Rita Turner, in 1970 as a way for adults in the workforce to pursue doctoral degrees and develop into leaders committed to the betterment of society. Walden gained accreditation status in 1979 from the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board and in 1990 Walden was accredited through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
