Make no mistake about it -- online education is here to stay. And if you are a trend-watcher, keep your eyes on online schools. Why? Because today‘s 21st century, laptop-toting, techno-minded student population has made it difficult for even the most traditional brick-and-mortar universities to ignore the unbeatable portability, convenience and popularity of online classes.
As adult learners return to the classroom in droves, some colleges have literally made it their business to specialize in online degrees. Walden University is on the A-list of these distance-learning institutions. And now online education giant DirectoryofSchools. com, is featuring Walden University’s impressive array of top-notch online undergraduate and graduate degree programs in five disciplines: Education, Health and Human Services, Engineering and Information Technology, Management, and Psychology.

The school’s commitment to educational access, especially in underserved communities, is reflected in the diversity of its faculty and student population. Walden’s emphasis is on “student-centeredness”, in which each student is assigned a concierge who supports, advises and assists in all aspects of online learning. Access to a wide variety of services is also available via cyberspace -- including a research center, an online library, a writing center, an alumni association, and federal financial aid. The latest in computer technology has been incorporated into streamlining the virtual classroom experience.
