†An applicant with a master’s degree from a U.S. institution accredited by a professional/specialized or national accrediting organization recognized by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), or from a non-U.S. institution, in a discipline or field related to the program/specialization for which application is made may also qualify. Educational Credential Evaluators Inc. (ECE) must evaluate a degree awarded from a non-U.S. institution as equivalent to a master’s degree awarded by a U.S. institution. Evaluations vary by a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) company. Please note: Walden requires GPA translation on all evaluations. Applicants must pay the fee for transcript evaluation directly to the agency.

“I was very excited to learn about the partnership between Meritas and Walden University. I was interested in pursuing my master’s degree in education, and this partnership presented me with a great opportunity.

“After enrolling in the M.S. in Education program with a specialization in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment, I knew I made the right decision. Not only is the work load manageable, but the course assignments are practical. The program goals are clearly defined, and the expectations of me as a student are clear. After taking a few courses, I now find myself questioning my own ideas on how to design my curriculum and administer assessments. Now more than ever, I feel inspired to modify my teaching practices and revamp my curriculum based upon my new learning.”
