I have decided against NCU and am now looking into Walden.
Their online presentation seems pretty thorough, tho I know they
don't have the best rep--none of these online schools seem to!

But I was wondering if any of you know anything about
Walden and the quality of the educ. there.
Any input is appreciated!

PS--I've also asked for info on the Capella U. psych. Master's program which is what i'm looking to study, tho i kind of have a bad feeling
about Capella--not sure why. . .

Thanks.

Hi, I am currently a doctorate student at Walden. I have not had an issue at Walden. Anytime I had a question I was always given an answer and you can easily call to get ahold of academic advisors. Capella is in the same league as Walden, the two schools compete for the same market. I have had friends who have attend Capella for their counseling and pyschology programs. I would suggest you call up both universities, talk to academic advisors for the program you are interested in and then do a comparision. I had looked at Capella for a doctorate program, but the 3 residencies I could not do, vs Walden's residencies which are shorter in length and I only need 1 of.
