would like to talk to anyone who has taken walden university classes (graduate)

I had started at Walden for the MBA pre-covid but also took classes at a few other places to max out transfer credits. I would say which one you do really depends on what you were hoping to get out of it. I specifically selected Walden because I wanted a specialization that the other online schools didn't offer, and business accreditation. If you only want the MBA without a specialization or if you want a specialization that WGU offers, I would go with WGU. If you want a specialization that WGU doesn't offer then I would say to go with Walden.

If you plan to do the tempo program just be aware that it is very heavy reading. Also, many people skip the forums because they're not technically required, but then it also seems to affect the grades. I read a report that the average grades for tempo are a grade lower than what they are for the main classes, and I think that's from lack of people using the forums.

On of the professors/subject matter experts I had was great at Walden, under the other one was a huge pain... who apparently other students also complained about. I do plan to return to Walden, likely this July. Right now I have a 4.0 GPA, and I am concerned about that dropping with the Tempo MBA. I'm going to see about posting on the forums hoping that it will make a difference in keeping up the GPA, because the lowest grade I got in the 21/30 credits finished was in the second tempo class that was the only graded one I took. The other thing I would say to be aware of is that sometimes the teachers take a while to return the papers, so if you are on tempo make sure to have your advisor give you access to the next class so that you can start working on it while you're waiting for the paper to be returned.

Thank you.
