Kaplan University is a large educational platform that caters to adult learners, online students and professionals seeking advanced education and training solutions. One of the school’s main attractions is that its instructors are all professionals with real-world experience who understand the competitive nature of the job market and the need for savvy professionals with cutting edge skills. The Kaplan brand is known for making available all kinds of educational resources to diverse groups of students, and it pulls from years of experience to bring online students the most relevant, well-rounded academic programs. Kaplan offers programs both online and on campuses around Iowa and Nebraska in cities like Cedar Falls, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Lincoln, and Omaha. Kaplan University is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and is also a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.

Even though Kaplan University has many online programs, it strives to integrate its students into the Kaplan community and the greater global workforce. Online learning tools include online quizzes, discussion boards, web field trips and interactive seminars. Some programs even require externships and internships, giving students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in person. Online students also have access to the university library, through Kaplan’s partnership with the UAH Salmon Library at the University of Alabama.

Kaplan University offers a wide range of academic programs, including communications, childhood development and education programs, business programs, criminal justice programs, legal studies, nursing, health sciences, information technology, and even a law school program through the Concord Law School. Kaplan helps students find the right level program by offering associate’s, bachelor’s and higher education programs, as well as Advanced Start programs. Advanced Start Programs are for students who already have an associate’s or bachelor’s degree but want to earn a second bachelor’s degree in a different subject. Advanced Start Programs typically last two years.

Kaplan University strongly encourages students to research financial aid options that make it easier for them to fit education into their budgets. Kaplan accepts many scholarships, loans, military financial aid, employer reimbursement options, and more solutions.
