Hampton University announced today that it will immediately
begin providing all of its undergraduate students with free prep
courses for graduate-level admissions exams, including the GRE®,
GMAT®, LSAT®, MCAT®, DAT®, and OAT®; nurse licensing exam, the
NCLEX-RN®; and teaching licensing exam, the PRAXIS®, through a new
partnership with global educational services provider Kaplan.
“I really wanted us to make an impact on the student experience
this year, not next year, because we recognize the total cost of
attending grad school is often an obstacle that blocks the
student’s view of their potential. Our partnership with Kaplan
signals a commitment to encouraging students to persist and
complete their education. It is one piece of the puzzle that helps
create the #1 experience we want to deliver to our students,” said
Hampton University President Darrell K. Williams. “This historic
agreement represents our intention to work with partners that share
our belief that reducing the financial burden of preparing and
sitting for admissions and licensing exams widens the pathway that
leads to better performance and ultimately increases marketability
and earning power.”
Kaplan has prepared students for standardized tests for 85
years, and Hampton University is the newest HBCU partner for the
company’s All Access initiative, joining Xavier University of
Louisiana, Howard University, Delaware State University, Talladega
College, Stillman College and Fisk University. Cleveland State
University is also a partner and recently reported outstanding
results since signing on last year. As part of Kaplan’s All Access
mission, colleges and universities can help their students prepare
for a variety of high-stakes admissions and licensing exams that
they need to take in order to reach their ultimate professional
goals.
“We are excited to bring Kaplan’s comprehensive All Access
services to Hampton undergrads and work with university leaders to
help them deliver a transformational educational experience. By
becoming an All Access partner, Hampton University is showing its
commitment to their students, seeing in them future successful
leaders in a wide variety of industries, from business to law to
medicine and so much more,” said James Polulach, director of
institutional partnerships, Kaplan. “Many students understandably
see exams as a barrier, instead of an opportunity, whether because
of the price of preparation or because of how difficult the exam
is. Through this partnership, we’re tearing down those barriers to
make it easier for Hampton students to reach their full
potential.”
