What's Unique at Kaplan University Online
Kaplan tries to stay one step ahead of the rest. Last year Kaplan launched three new online degree programs for students who wish to enter the growing field of health information and human services. The U.S. Department of Labor predicted in its Occupational Outlook Handbook (2008-09) that employment in these fields will rise significantly. Demand for technicians who are highly skilled in medical coding and human service assistance is expected to grow by 34% in the next decade.
Additionally, reaching out to underprivileged populations is part of Kaplan's philosophy. Kaplan offers free tutoring and scholarships to students around the world and supports non profits from the U.S. to Australia, to Singapore.
