After spending two semesters in Walden Universities Online Ph.D. in Public Health program, my life changed. I now believe that learning is very intimate and students must be able to express themselves in a supportive environment. An educational program should nurture and value every student, while providing a challenge. Walden University has helped me find the voice that was silenced by the traditional academic demands of the brick and mortar setting. Walden forced me to look at myself and define what I think is important. My online experience has made me a more inquisitive and compassionate person. I frequently wonder about the academic passions of others.
About My Walden University Experience
After graduating from Temple University with Bachelors in Public Health and an MBA in Health Administration from Eastern College, I certainly had a sense of accomplishment. I knew that I enjoyed learning about health, but I still felt empty. I continued to struggle professionally, hoping that the next job would satisfy me. This tiresome journey continued until I began my online experience.
My wife introduced to online learning after graduating from Drexel University's Online School of Education. Her online experience provided her with a sense of freedom, confidence and excitement. Because we have opposite personalities, I never thought that I would enjoy the online experience.
