Kaplan, Inc. is an international educational services company that provides educational and training services to colleges, universities, businesses and individuals around the world. Founded in 1938 by Stanley Kaplan,[2] the company offers a variety of test preparation, certifications, and student support services.[1] The company is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida,[3] and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Graham Holdings Company.

History

Kaplan, Inc. was founded in 1938 by Stanley H. Kaplan, a first-generation son of immigrants[4] who began tutoring his classmates at age 14, operating from the basement of his parents' Brooklyn home.[5] He originally aspired to be a doctor, but was rejected from all medical schools he applied to, despite his exceptional academic record, because of anti-Semitic admissions policies at the time.[4] When a student introduced him to the SAT, he wrote in his autobiography, Test Pilot, that he fell in love with the test, as it tested skills he knew how to teach. His business grew as many students sought help in preparing for college admission tests, particularly after World War II when U.S. government passed the G.I. Bill giving education to returning veterans. His business boomed, and he expanded it across the U.S. and abroad.[5] In 1984, Kaplan sold the company to The Washington Post Company,[6] now the Graham Holdings Company.[7]

1990s–present

In 1990s, the company expanded abroad and grew beyond test preparation, expanding its training and publishing businesses, diversifying into English language training, higher education, pathways programs, online learning and other services. It launched the first online law school, Concord Law School, in 1998.[8] Over the years, it has purchased several other educational companies and schools worldwide.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] The company's leader during this expansion period was Jonathan Grayer.[21]

In 2016, Kaplan partnered with ACT, the ACT college admissions test maker, to make low-cost, online test prep free for low-income students.[22]

In 2017, Purdue University announced the acquisition of Kaplan University,[23] and the sale was completed in 2018. The new institution became Purdue University Global, providing students with accredited distance learning worldwide.[24]

During the pandemic in 2020, Kaplan partnered with Hexco Academic to host its first national online spelling bee. The winner of the Kaplan Online Spelling Bee, Zaila Avant-garde,[25] went on to become the first African American to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 2021.[26] Runner up Harini Logan went on to win the Scripps Bee the following year.[27]

In 2021, Kaplan launched Career Core, a shared career services model, in partnership with Wake Forest University, Adelphi University, Florida International University, Point Loma Nazarene University, University of Arizona, University of Montana, Alpha Tau Omega, and Kappa Alpha Order.[28]

In 2022, Amazon announced a partnership with Kaplan to make academic and career coaching services available to its 750,000 hourly employees in the U.S. as part of its Career Choice upskilling program.[29]

Controversies

In 2007, a class-action lawsuit was settled for $30 million by Kaplan and BarBri, a company offering bar exam preparation. Among the allegations was a federal antitrust violation claiming that Kaplan had agreed not to compete in the bar review business while BarBri agreed it would not compete in the LSAT business.[37] Both West Publishing Company (parent of BarBri) and Kaplan denied the allegations and the matter was resolved without any findings of wrongdoing.[38]

In a 2010 investigation by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found deceptive practices at 15 for-profit college campuses, including two owned by Kaplan. In addition, the Florida Attorney General investigated eight for-profit colleges that also included Kaplan for alleged misrepresentation of financial aid and deceptive practices regarding enrollment, recruitment, accreditation, placement and graduation rates. Footage from undercover videos revealed that recruiters from Kaplan in California and Florida had made false or dubious claims to prospective students, such as suggesting massage therapists earn $100 per hour and that student loans do not have to be repaid. Kaplan took immediate steps to address, including firing those responsible, halting recruiting, offering full tuition rebates, retraining individuals, bringing in outside accountants to conduct its own “mystery shopping”[39], and implementing a debt-free trial period.[40]

In 2006, several ex-employees alleged that Kaplan had broken the law and breached its agreement with the U.S. Department of Education by recruiting unqualified students, misleading students about their academic progress, manipulating job placement statistics, and offering bonuses to recruiters based on how many students they enrolled, in order to get the most out of federal funding. In November 2006, two former instructors sued Kaplan for allegedly submitting false claims to the government and not adhering to the Higher Education Act's requirements for payment. The plaintiffs, who were previously employed at Kaplan's Pittsburgh-based campus, claimed that Kaplan had breached the 70 Percent Rule, which requires eligible schools to have a minimum graduation rate and job placement rate of 70%. Furthermore, they argued that Kaplan Career Institute had advertised job-placement rates without providing prospective students with job-placement statistics or state licensing requirements.[41][42][43][44][45] Federal judge Patricia Seitz dismissed nearly all of the claims, finding that the plaintiffs had failed to adequately plead them with any particularity, dismissing others for lack of specificity.[46]

In 2012, the North Carolina Attorney General determined that Kaplan had lied to students about the credentials they would earn in the Dental Assistant program.[47] Following the investigation Kaplan College Charlotte campus surrendered its license to operate a school. Kaplan refunded students the cost of tuition, books, and fees, and agreed to pay the program's graduates $9,000 stipends. Students claimed they were told the school would soon obtain ADA accreditation. The program had never been accredited by the American Dental Association, and had never been scheduled for the initial site visit required for accreditation.[48][49]

In 2010, the Florida Attorney General started an investigation into whether five for-profit colleges, including Kaplan, were engaged in deceptive practices with regard to recruiting, enrollment and job placement, among other issues.[50] The investigation, which ended in 2014, found no violations by Kaplan.[51] The company voluntarily reached an agreement with the Florida Attorney General’s office, under which it will disclose more details about academic programs.[52]

In 2015, Kaplan paid $1.375 million to the Massachusetts Attorney General's office to resolve complaints that Kaplan engaged in “unfair or deceptive practices designed to induce enrollment of students” including “harassing sales tactics and false and misleading representations” in the operation of the Kaplan Career Institute campus in Boston, Massachusetts.[53] The settlement was part of the Attorney General’s broad pursuit of the for-profit industry and did not include a finding of wrongdoing. Kaplan said it resolved the legal challenge “due to the high cost of protracted litigation.”[54]

Also in 2015, the United States Department of Justice began investigating Kaplan following a Qui tam suit filed by a whistleblower under the False Claims Act. The whistleblower alleged Kaplan employed unqualified instructors to teach Medical Assistant courses at its San Antonio campuses and knowingly requested, received, and retained federal funds for courses taught by individuals who did not meet the minimum requirements established by Texas law.[55][56] While Kaplan paid $1.3 million to resolve the allegations, with $1 million going towards tuition refunds, Acting U.S. Attorney Richard L. Durbin Jr. stated that the settlement was not an admission of liability by Kaplan or its affiliates, and that the company had fully cooperated with the government’s investigation and negotiated the settlement in good faith.[57]

Kaplan Educational Foundation (KEF)

The Kaplan Educational Foundation (KEF) is an independent 501(c)(3) charity that offers undergraduate and graduate educational scholarship opportunities and other assistance to community college students in the New York City area who are traditionally overlooked, underserved and underrepresented, including African American, Latino, and Native American students.[58] Kaplan scholars receive a comprehensive array of financial and academic support, transfer admissions advising, and leadership skills development. The foundation partners with dozens of higher educational institutions around the United States.[59]

In addition to support from its partners and benefactors, the foundation is supported through sales of its guide to college transfer. The guide profiles top U.S. schools and their transfer policies, and is a resource for students and school administrators to navigate the complex transfer process, including credits and graduation requirements. The guide provides specialized advice to non-traditional students, including veterans, students raising families, and students with unique immigration needs. Private citizens may donate these guides to deserving students, and all proceeds from sales are used to support the foundation.[60]

Awards, rankings and honors

Kaplan has been received numerous awards and recognition for its businesses, products and services, including:
