North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University is
providing all of its undergraduate students with free test prep
courses for graduate-level admissions exams, including the GRE®,
GMAT®, LSAT®, and MCAT®, and professional certifications, through a
new partnership with global educational services provider Kaplan.
Additionally, Kaplan will provide programs for students around
workforce readiness and development, as part of the company’s All
Access license.
“We’re excited about this partnership, especially because
Kaplan’s All Access initiative is at the forefront of equity,
inclusion, and access,” said Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor
for Academic Affairs Tonya Smith-Jackson. “We look forward to this
transformative partnership to assist our students in their
professional growth as they will become tomorrow’s leaders in
advancing the human condition.”
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 North Carolina A&T is its
newest HBCU partner, joining Xavier University of Louisiana, Howard
University, Delaware State University, Talladega College, Stillman
College, Fisk University, Hampton University, Spelman College and
Alabama A&M University.
“Kaplan’s All Access services are going to deliver a career
path-changing educational experience to North Carolina A&T
State University students and we couldn’t be more excited to
partner with the school’s visionary administration to make this
happen. By becoming an All Access partner, university leaders are
demonstrating that they are vested in their students’ success for
the long term and see in them the leaders of tomorrow, in a wide
variety of industries, from business to law to medicine and so much
more,” said James Polulach, director of institutional partnerships,
Kaplan. “Kaplan’s All Access tears down barriers and instead widens
the doors of opportunity for students who want to score
competitively on important exams and supercharge their career
trajectories.”
Cleveland State University is an All Access partner too and in
September announced that it is extending the offering to its
alumni. Also in September, Rutgers Law School signed up to offer
all of its students free Kaplan bar exam prep courses.
