Review:

First of all, Walden (nor any other online school) is for everyone.  If you are unmotivated and waiting for someone to "hand you" something, you will not do well.  I have just finished my last academic class at Walden and will be starting my practicum in Clinical Psychology soon.  I am doing my practicum and internship at a very prestigous medical school and feel that Walden prepared me for my upcoming duties as an intern.  I have enjoyed the support that I have received from professors and administrators.  As for licensure, there has never been any secret that Walden is not APA-approved.  They highly stress that potential students check with their individual states regarding licensure requirements before they enter the program and before it is too late to make changes.  Engaging in an online program is the only way that I could have obtained a Ph.D. since I worked full-time as a teacher.  There are no Ph.D. programs available in my town (one was just added in the Educational Field but....) and I could not uproot my family and relocate to an area that offered a program, not to mention quit my job for 6 years to attend school full-time.  I will be very happy to display my Walden Ph.D. and feel that the education I have received is just as good, if not better, than any brick and mortar school!
