Education Unlocked

"I am the first in my family to attend and complete college. And I have learned the hard way that while ability/talent is evenly distributed, opportunity is not. At Adtalem Global Education, we believe in expanding opportunity. And because success is what happens when preparation and opportunity intersect, we are committed to preparing our students to meet their moment of opportunity.”

Adtalem Unlocks
Access to Education
and Opportunity

As the #1 provider of healthcare education in the U.S. in 2022, Adtalem is committed to welcoming students from all walks of life with the opportunity to advance their education. We do this by removing barriers to access, innovating in how we provide education, and providing caring student support.

We believe in students and their dreams because we’ve seen what they have accomplished in their communities and careers once they graduate.

By the Numbers: Adtalem's
Impact on Higher Education

	Adtalem is the #1 grantor of graduate degrees in multiple disciplines to Black students.
	1 in 4 RUSVM graduates have been people of color over the past three years.
	Adtalem is the #1 largest provider of distance education for graduate-level students in the US with its combined Chamberlain and Walden totals.
	Walden is one of the top 10 grantors of research doctorates to minority students: Black and African Americans (No. 1), Hispanic (No. 5), Native American (No. 5) or more than one race (No. 7).

Out of 153 U.S. medical schools, only 3% graduated 25 or more Black students, according to 2022-2023 data from the Association of American Medical Colleges. Combined, AUC and RUSM had more than 120 Black or African American students attain a residency in 2024.

Social Determinants
of Learning™

Making higher education more accessible means understanding and addressing barriers that diverse students face. Striving toward educational justice for all, Chamberlain University developed the Social Determinants of Learning™. This framework is an actionable model that supports nursing diversity, equity, and inclusion by taking into account students’ social environment and community, economic stability, psychosocial health, and more.
