Provide Your Students with a Competitive Advantage

Kaplan Credegree™

Provide your students with a competitive advantage

The Kaplan Credegree is designed to enhance the job readiness and marketability of college students by partnering the traditional four-year degree program with Kaplan’s educational programs. This allows students to complete their four- year degree while also earning industry-recognized credentials that are highly valued by employers.

The Kaplan Credegree appeals to employers

Although the traditional academic experience creates a solid foundation for students, a recent Gallup study on higher education found that only 11% of business leaders strongly agree that college graduates are well- prepared for success in the workforce.*

Considering that a more knowledgeable student has greater appeal to potential employers, it’s not surprising that a 2019 Quest Research Group survey found over 70% of respondents agreed that a Kaplan Credegree would help college students to have a more well-rounded education and overall skill set.**

Universities also benefit from offering Kaplan Credegrees

Right now, only 3% of institutions are making a major investment in alternative credentialing programs but 74% are at least experimenting.*** Kaplan works with universities to develop a customized mix of credential programs based on what makes the most sense for their respective degree programs and student needs.

Universities that offer Kaplan Credegrees can benefit by:

• Positioning graduates more effectively for future careers. • Increasing the tangible and perceived value of a graduate’s degree • Creating a consistent pipeline of work-ready graduates. • Being positioned for corporate partnerships through the additional breadth and depth of offering.
