Kaplan College

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kaplan College is a system of for-profit colleges in the United States and is a subsidiary of Kaplan Inc. and Kaplan Higher Education.[1] Kaplan College offers career training for the healthcare industry.

Kaplan Inc. purchased the American Institute of Commerce, a business training school founded in 1937, and renamed it Kaplan College. Kaplan then used it as a base for all its online programs: financial planning, paralegal studies, health care and criminal justice. As of April 2004, Kaplan owned 64 campuses, including Hesser College in New Hampshire and CEI College in California.[2] Kaplan launched web-based universities in April 2000,[3] and in 2007, Kaplan College merged with Hamilton Business Colleges.[4]
