University of Detroit Mercy (UDM), the only Jesuit and Mercy
university in the country, announced today that a new partnership
with global educational services provider Kaplan is now providing
all of its students with free test prep courses for graduate-level
admissions exams, including the GRE®, GMAT®, LSAT®, MCAT® and DAT®,
and free test prep for professional licensing exams including the
bar exam, INBDE®, NCLEX-RN® exam, and Physician Assistant National
Certifying Examination (PANCE®). Additionally, students can prepare
for a number of business and financial-focused products for
free.
The new partnership aims to improve matriculation to graduate
and professional schools, improve professional licensing passage
rates, and improve employability for UDM graduates.
By investing in Kaplan’s All Access License, 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 more than 85 years, and University of
Detroit Mercy is Kaplan’s latest All Access partner, joining
Cleveland State University, Xavier University of Louisiana, Howard
University, Delaware State University, Talladega College, Stillman
College, Fisk University, Hampton University, Spelman College, and
Alabama A&M University.
“This partnership supports UDM’s Jesuit and Mercy mission by
providing another transformative, student-centered opportunity to
prepare for these challenging examinations without the worry of
cost for these services. As a result, University of Detroit Mercy
students are one step closer to becoming competent, compassionate
leaders ready to serve in a vulnerable world,” said Pamela
Zarkowski, UDM provost and vice president for academic affairs.
“Kaplan’s All Access comprehensive course offerings are going to
deliver a career path-changing experience to University of Detroit
Mercy students and we’re proud to work with the school’s
administration to make this a reality. By becoming an All Access
partner, UDM is demonstrating that they are committed to their
students’ long-term success and see in them the leaders of tomorrow
in a wide variety of industries, from business to law to medicine,
and beyond,” said Kim Canning, vice president of university
partnerships, Kaplan. “Kaplan’s All Access License breaks down
barriers and instead creates pathways for students striving to
excel on crucial exams. We can’t wait to have UDM students in our
classrooms soon to help them jump start the next phases of their
life journeys.”
