Albion College, the top liberal arts school in the Midwest and
ranked first in the state for providing an excellent student
experience and social mobility for its graduates, both per The Wall
Street Journal, announced today that a new partnership with global
educational services provider Kaplan is now providing all of its
students, faculty, staff, and alumni with free test prep courses
for graduate-level admissions exams, including the GRE®, GMAT®,
LSAT®, and MCAT®. Additionally, they will have access to a suite of
skills-development courses that they can take for free with Kaplan,
on topics ranging from career readiness to data literacy.
By investing in Kaplan’s All Access License, colleges and
universities can help their students and others 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—in addition to
taking courses to hone skills that will help them succeed in the
workplace. Albion College is Kaplan’s latest All Access License
partner, joining Xavier University of Louisiana, Howard University,
Delaware State University, Fisk University, Hampton University,
Spelman College, Cleveland State University, and Syracuse
University College of Law, among others. Unique to
the Albion partnership is that it’s Kaplan’s first All Access
License partner to extend these free offerings to not only current
students, but also to alumni, faculty, and staff.
Lisa Lewis, provost and professor of chemistry at Albion
College, said:
“At Albion College, we are dedicated to
fostering an environment where every member of our
community—students, faculty, staff, and alumni—has the resources
and opportunities to succeed and grow. Through our partnership with
Kaplan, we’re thrilled to offer free access to top-tier test
preparation, micro-credentials, and licensure programs. This
initiative reinforces our commitment to student success and
lifelong learning, equipping all members of the Albion community
with tools that support their academic and professional journeys
long after graduation.”
Kimberly Kelly, executive director of university partnerships,
Kaplan, said:
“Kaplan’s All Access License breaks down
barriers and creates opportunities for students to excel on key
exams, gain entry to top graduate programs, and launch successful
careers. In making this forward-thinking investment, Albion College
is providing its students, alumni, faculty, and staff with a
transformative educational experience, and we're excited to
collaborate with the school's administration to help them achieve
their goals. As an All Access License partner, Albion is showing a
long-term commitment to everyone at the school, recognizing their
potential as future leaders across industries like business, law,
and medicine, among many others. We can't wait to welcome them into
our classes and support them on their career and academic
journeys."
