Reimagining the Future of Healthcare Education
Adtalem Global Education announced the completion of its acquisition of Walden University, a leading online healthcare and behavioral sciences education provider, from Laureate Education, Inc. With a projected nursing shortage of more than 500,000 registered nurses by 2030 and a shortage of up to 139,000 physicians by 2033, this transaction has enhanced Adtalem’s ability to address the rapidly growing and unmet demand for healthcare professionals in the U.S. through greater scale and a wider array of healthcare educational offerings.
The addition of Walden enables Adtalem to further advance its workforce solutions strategy by enhancing its focus on the fast-growing and dynamic healthcare industry and expanding its digital platform capabilities. With a concentration of online graduate-level healthcare programs that are complementary to Adtalem’s core offerings, Walden significantly expands the company’s breadth and best-in-class modalities to further enable it to reimagine the future of healthcare education. Adtalem’s family of institutions will have nearly 140,000 total student enrollments, with 82% of students in online learning modalities.
