Kaplan College is a system of for-profit colleges in the United States and is a subsidiary of Kaplan Inc. and Kaplan Higher Education.[1] Kaplan College offers career training for the healthcare industry.

Kaplan Inc. purchased the American Institute of Commerce, a business training school founded in 1937, and renamed it Kaplan College. Kaplan then used it as a base for all its online programs: financial planning, paralegal studies, health care and criminal justice. Educational Medical, Inc. became Quest Educational Corporation in 1998, which was subsequently acquired by Graham Holdings Company-controlled Kaplan in 2000.

As of April 2004, Kaplan owned 64 campuses, including Hesser College in New Hampshire and CEI College in California.[2] California locations operated under the Maric College brand 2004-2008, then as Kaplan Colleges. Kaplan launched web-based universities in April 2000,[3] and in 2007, Kaplan College merged with Hamilton Business Colleges/Hamilton College (Iowa).[4] In June 2008, Las Vegas-based Heritage College was folded into the Kaplan College brand.

In 2009, Kaplan College in Maryland merged with Kaplan University and the two campuses now bear the university nameplate.[5]
