There are plenty of public schools to choose from for most of the majors Wall 'em offers. There are even private schools, non-profit and for-profit, that are much cheaper than Wall 'em.
No heart attacks...lol!
Walden is not cheap but neither are a lot of other schools. Sometimes people pay more for something else they want - like maybe being able to start class sooner and not have to wait. I have a friend who wants an online MSW program, which is how I became aware of their CSWE candidacy. There aren't a ton of online programs for that and some of them take much longer, even with advanced standing. Also, one woman I know who's getting a degree in counseling said Walden aka Wally had the only online program that was accredited by CACREP.
I believe there are other options in most cases, but I can see why some might choose Wally.
