Does anyone have any experience with Walden University online degrees. I'm looking at their Master's program in education and wondered about its credibility. I'm also looking at Grand Canyon University. I have a friend who is taking classes from there.
Hello dear, I have been doing masters program in nursing and guiding a friend at walden university. It is easily managed when you are working at the same time
It depends if you expect a potential employer to take you seriously or not. There are plenty of regionally accredited brick and mortar schools like have distance education options.

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
I think there are better schools with online master's degrees. I do know someone who attended Walden for her master's. Grand Canyon University is a conservative, Baptist college that began as a bible school, then a For Profit college, and now, a mostly online university.
Walden is one of the less odious online for-profit universities.
They advertise quite a bit. Have you looked at your state university? Do you need a master's to continue teaching?
Both are regionally accredited. That's setting the bar pretty low, however.
I would check with potential employers first and get a sense of whether they are prejudiced towards schools such as Walden before pursuing a masters with them. Some state's employers (i.e. Texas) are somewhat inclined towards name school graduates (i.e. Texas A&M) but academically I have to wonder why. I understand that the "Aggies" have quite a network but as long as the person can do the job, learned what they needed to know to impart that education to students, and there is a huge shortage of teachers....what difference does it make whether you went to A&M or Walden?
Not Walden, but Western Governors University. My son got his MBA from there and it was all good.
