Kaplan Higher Education

Headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida with student support centers also in Orlando and Chicago, Kaplan Higher Education ("KHE") is a mission-driven, highly respected educational services organization that provides an array of education enablement support services. Our services include but are not limited to marketing the institutions and their programs, admissions, student finance, student advising, human resources and communication, legal and compliance, finance and accounting, strategy and advanced analytics, and information technology. KHE has been a pioneer in higher education, using technology and learning science to expand educational access and improve outcomes for the students and partners it supports. In 2001, it helped launch Kaplan University's foray into the emerging world of online higher education with just 34 students and a handful of degree options. In 2018, Kaplan University was acquired by Purdue University and as Purdue University Global (Purdue Global), is delivering on Purdue's land grant mission in the 21st century. Today KHE supports the educational journeys of some 30,000 students pursuing associates, bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees through more than 180 degree offerings.
