More Ways to Save
Employer Tuition Assistance
You may be eligible for tuition assistance through your employer to help offset the cost of tuition. Most tuition assistance programs are administered through a company’s or organization’s human resources or employee benefits department. Walden’s knowledgeable enrollment advisors can discuss this option with you.

Transfer of Credit
You may be eligible to transfer credits from other institutions that are accredited by an agency recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. Walden also recognizes credits earned through several professional associations. Each program has transfer-of-credit maximums and time limits to ensure that you benefit from the most up-to-date knowledge in your field.
