Walden University, a private, for-profit online university that’s part of Baltimore-based Laureate International Universities, has teamed up with the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives to offer discounted tuition to members for graduate and undergraduate programs.

NOBLE, founded in 1976, is an organization that works to eliminate racism in the law enforcement field.  Specifically for NOBLE members, Walden’s School of Public Policy and Administration has added six new certificate programs — five graduate and one undergraduate — in public policy, criminal justice, homeland security and nonprofit management.

NOBLE is holding its 2010 conference in Baltimore –- it began Saturday and goes through today — which Walden is partly sponsoring.  Two program directors in Walden’s School of Public Policy and Administration presented workshops on criminal justice and nonprofit board management.
