About Kaplan College
Kaplan College was created in 1937, when its parent company, Kaplan Inc., bought a business training school known as the American Institute of Commerce and changed it over to its new name. Kaplan Inc. owns and operates over 64 different schools around the United States, and it also offers a variety of online training programs. Kaplan College campuses can be found in Maryland, Ohio, Washington, Wisconsin, Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, and Nevada.
The school's vocational training courses are offered in the fields of business, computers, legal studies, and health care. The Indianapolis, Maryland campus offers a number of health care options, including Associate degrees and/or certificates.
Graduates of all the programs may be eligible to sit for the relevant national and state certification exams, but the school does not guarantee eligibility or a passing score.

As an educational institution, Kaplan College is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools. It does not have regional accreditation, so the transfer of credits to another educational institution outside of the Kaplan name may be difficult.
Financial Aid
Financial aid may be available for those who qualify. Students are expected to complete and submit the FAFSA form prior to enrolling in courses in order to determine their eligibility for federal and state funding.
