ALBANY, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Albany State University, a leading public university recognized for academic excellence, student success, and its contributions to Southwest Georgia, has partnered with global education company Kaplan to help its students achieve their educational goals and prepare for long-term career success. All Albany State students now have free access to Kaplan’s best-in-class preparation for graduate-level admissions exams, professional licensing exams, and credential exams, including the GRE®, GMAT®, LSAT®, and MCAT®. Students also have access to a robust suite of professional and academic skills development courses from Kaplan, including data analysis, project management, and critical thinking.

Dr. Robert Scott, president, Albany State University, said:

“At Albany State University, we believe student success depends on both academic preparation and access to the tools that help students move forward. Our partnership with Kaplan removes a financial barrier to important exams and professional development opportunities, giving students additional support as they pursue advanced degrees and meaningful careers. This is another way we are aligning our resources with the needs and aspirations of our students.”

Troy Beetz, vice president and chief university growth officer, Albany State University, said:

“This partnership is a strategic investment in the growth of Albany State University and, more importantly, in the future of our students. By bringing high-quality test preparation and skills development resources directly to our students at no additional cost, we are strengthening pathways to graduate education, professional credentials, and career advancement. It reflects our commitment to building partnerships that expand opportunity and help every Ram take the next step toward success.”

By investing in Kaplan’s award-winning All Access License®, colleges and universities can provide all of their students with access to Kaplan’s industry-leading test prep for admissions exams, licensure, credentialing programs, and workforce readiness programs with zero out-of-pocket costs for students, helping them reach their ultimate career goals. Since Kaplan’s All Access License was launched in 2022, tens of thousands of students have collectively saved more than $86 million in out-of-pocket costs for these programs.

Julia Larkin, vice president, university partnerships, Kaplan, said:

“We’re proud to partner with Albany State University at a time when the university is building real momentum around student opportunity, workforce readiness, entrepreneurship, and economic growth across Southwest Georgia. From expanding pathways for students to strengthening connections between education and the regional economy, Albany State is demonstrating how a university can be a powerful catalyst for the communities it serves. Kaplan’s All Access License builds on that vision by giving Rams access to practical skills, professional credentials, and preparation for important career milestones. Together, we’re helping students turn what they learn at Albany State into opportunities that can benefit not only their own careers, but their families, communities, and the region for years to come.”

Among the many institutional partners of Kaplan’s All Access License are Cleveland State University, Xavier University of Louisiana, Howard University, Spelman College, and South Carolina State University. At the government level, the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), the state’s college access and financial aid agency, has contracted Kaplan to provide universal test prep and skills development courses to all students enrolled in Illinois’ 12 public universities and select Illinois community colleges.
