Throughout our history, Kaplan has been a pioneer in expanding educational access and transforming learning through new technologies. With more than one million students, and thousands of clients and university partners, Kaplan has the expertise, passion, and continuous innovation to help you achieve your educational and career goals.
Founded by Stanley Kaplan, a first-generation college student, Kaplan is one of the world’s largest, most diverse education providers. When Mr. Kaplan created the first test preparation business in the U.S., his goal was to give students access to higher education based on academic merit, regardless of background. Today, Kaplan remains rooted by its belief in the power of education to open doors, helping students pass any test, achieve any goal, and reach any milestone.
From high school students preparing for college entrance exams, to graduate school candidates, to working adults looking to return to school and earn a degree, Kaplan helps students at all stages of their lives and careers realize their dreams. We do this through an extensive selection of online and in-person courses, as well as a complete array of print books and digital learning products. This includes personalized preparation and private tutoring for more than 100 standardized tests, including SAT®, ACT®, LSAT®, MCAT®, GRE®, GMAT®, USMLE®, NCLEX®, and Bar.
A premier provider of licensing exam prep and continuing education for busy professionals, Kaplan helps individuals obtain and maintain in-demand certifications and designations in the financial planning, insurance, securities, real estate, engineering, architecture, and accounting industries.
