Alabama A&M University Partners with Kaplan to Offer Students Free Comprehensive Test Prep for Graduate-Level Admissions Exams and Professional Certifications

Alabama A&M University announced today that a new
partnership with global educational services provider Kaplan will
immediately provide all of its students with free test prep courses
for graduate-level admissions exams, including the GRE®, GMAT®,
LSAT®, and MCAT®, and free test prep for professional licensing
exams including the bar exam, USMLE®, INBDE®, and NCLEX-RN® exam.
Additionally, students can also prepare for the CFA® exam for free
through Kaplan.
This latest investment in its students builds on Alabama
A&M’s commitment to providing greater access for students and
addresses what is yet another “cost of college” many students and
families must find resources to meet. The new partnership aims to
improve matriculation to graduate and professional schools, improve
professional licensing passage rates, and improve employability for
AAMU graduates.
As part of Kaplan’s All Access initiative, colleges and
universities can help their students prepare for a variety of
high-stakes admissions and licensing exams that they need to score
well on to reach their ultimate professional goals — with zero
out-of-pocket costs for students. Kaplan has prepared students for
standardized tests for 85 years, and Alabama A&M is its newest
HBCU partner, joining Xavier University of Louisiana, Howard
University, Delaware State University, Talladega College, Stillman
College, Fisk University, Hampton University and Spelman College.
Cleveland State University is also a partner and reports
outstanding results since signing on in 2022; and in September, the
school expanded this offering to alumni. And most recently, Rutgers
Law School signed up to offer all of its students free Kaplan bar
exam prep courses.
“We are excited about what this means for student success on our
campus,” said John D. Jones, Ph.D., Alabama A&M’s provost and
vice president for academic affairs. “We know our students have the
capacity and the potential to compete with the very best. This
initiative not only removes another barrier towards greater
academic achievement; it unlocks career aspirations as well. That’s
what makes this such an important win for AAMU.”
“Kaplan’s All Access services are going to deliver a career
path-changing educational experience to AAMU students and we’re
looking forward to working with the school’s visionary
administration to make this happen. By becoming an All Access
partner, AAMU is demonstrating that they are committed to their
students’ success for the long haul and sees in them the leaders of
tomorrow in a wide variety of industries, from business to law to
medicine and much more,” said Mark Reimonenq, director of
university partnerships, Kaplan. “Kaplan’s All Access knocks down
barriers and instead builds bridges of opportunities for students
who want to do well on important exams and get into top graduate
programs and jump start their careers.”
Alabama A&M students who are interested in enrolling in a
Kaplan test prep course should contact their academic advisor. For
