Walden University (Minnesota) Walden History │ Colleges and Schools │ Accreditation & Reputation History Walden University was established in 1970 by two New York teachers, Bernie and Rita Turner, who created a program for working adults to pursue doctoral degrees. In the summer of 1971, the first classes took place at a hotel in Naples, Florida, focusing primarily on school administrators. These initial classes were to allow the students to form dissertation topics with their faculty partners before returning home to work at their respective schools while also working on their dissertations. In 1972, Walden University conferred its first degrees: 46 Ph.D.s and 24 Ed.D.s at its first commencement in Naples, Florida. In 1979, the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board licensed Walden University to grant Ph.D.s and Ed.D.s in the state and in 1982 the school moved its headquarters to Minneapolis. In 1990, the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools accredited the University. In 1995, the school expanded its offering with the nation's first fully online master's program in education, offering a Master's in Educational Change and Technology Innovation.
