Hello, i just have a couple quick questions.. I am a first year teacher and i am looking to get my masters.  I was told walden has a couple good programs..and not its not too expensive are there any other suggestions? I am a teacher and coach, so if there are easier programs that would be good too, but i dont want it to be a waste of time either any information would help greatly. Thanks a lot

Hi j - I'm guessing that you're looking to earn a Masters degree in Education?  Any specialization? 

I've got to tell you, I really like the programs that Walden offers.  They have been around for a long time and they reportedly deliver a quality product.  If you're currently teaching maybe your school system will pick up the tab for your Masters degree and so Walden's relatively high price tag may not be much of a bother to you.  However, if you're interested in going a bit cheaper then there are alternatives.  Look here:

Good luck.

I was looking into getting my PhD with them, it seems that they have quality programs, a little pricey but compatible to what I will pay in a UC school

I am a recent graduate of Walden University.  I did some research, and found that Walden offered the program for me...Middle Level Education.  My advice to you is to figure out which area you want to specialize in, and focus on that area.  Walden does offer programs that do not specifically focus on specialization areas, but look to the future.  As far as the classes, they were great, and I benefited greatly!
