Student retention, or how often students return to continue their degree after completing their first year, is another helpful indicator. Over the last five years, at Walden University, about 18% of full-time students returned the following fall to continue their degree.
The size and demographic makeup of a school’s student body can have a large impact on a student’s experience. Walden University has 72,855 students, which puts it in the {SIZE_PERCENTILE} percentile of for-profit, 4-year schools.
About 84% of students are female.
And about 41% of students are black.
