America's colleges and universities will undergo profound changes as the student population changes predominantly to mature, working adults and as the methods of learning  and teaching shift to electronic learning and other distance approaches during the 21st century. At Walden, through The Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership, you will develop proficiency in knowing how educational systems and policies can be changed to create focused learning opportunities and how individuals, particularly adults, learn most effectively, what strategies and tools best promote learning and in what contexts. Graduates hold administrative, leadership, research and teaching positions at colleges and universities throughout the United States providing student and academic services, professional development services and filling implementation roles and policy-making.
